Rule 4 – Lodging of documents

1. Written pleadings and other documents shall be signed and lodged at the Registry or relevant sub-
registry in electronic form. Parties shall make use of the official forms available online. The receipt of
documents shall be confirmed by the automatic issue of an electronic receipt, which shall indicate the
date and local time of receipt.
2. Where it is not possible to lodge a document electronically for the reason that the electronic case
management system of the Court has ceased to function a party may lodge a document in hard-copy

form at the Registry or a sub-registry. An electronic copy of the document shall be lodged as soon as
practicable thereafter.
