When a document is lodged in the Registry, a sub-registry or the registry of a superior court, the Registrar, deputy registrar or registrar of the superior court must endorse the document showing the date and time when it was lodged. The Registrar may permit documents to be lodged at the Registry or a sub-registry; applications for that permission may be made informally but must be in writing; the Registrar or deputy registrar who receives such a document must send it to the appropriate registry at the applicant's expense, with a specified exception. Registrars (including registrars of superior courts) must not refuse documents lodged out of time; they must mark such documents "lodged out of time" and inform the person who lodged them. If a superior court registrar accepts a document out of time, that registrar must inform the Registrar. Requirements for documents used in Court covering paper size, single-sided use, left margin, legibility, binding, volume limits, numbering, compliance with Practice Directions, and electronic filing. Registrars may reject documents that don't meet rule 13; they must refuse documents tendered without required fees or security; if a mistakenly accepted document lacked fee/security the lodger must remedy the defect as soon as practicable; a dissatisfied person may seek referral to a judge within seven days or immediately.
