Notices to practitioners issued
by the NT District Registrar
Corporations matters (No. 1 of
2001)
The Court will regain corporations
jurisdiction upon commencement of the Corporations
Act 2001, the ASIC
Act 2001 and related legislation on 15 July 2001.
After this time, corporations matters
filed on the Northern Territory District Registry will
ordinarily be listed for a return date before the deputy
district registrar on a Tuesday at 9.00 am in Courtroom
2 at the Commonwealth Law Courts, 80 Mitchell Street,
Darwin. Alternative return dates or listing before a judge
in the first instance may be arranged with the registry
in appropriate cases.
The registrar will deal with all appropriate
matters within the registrar's delegation and refer other
matters to a judge.
The rules governing corporations proceedings
are now contained in a separate chapter of the Federal
Court Rules, the Federal Court (Corporations) Rules 200
(Statutory Rule No. 359 of 1999 as amended by Statutory
Rule No. 333 of 2000 and Statutory Rule No. 127 of 2001).
