6145 Filed documents initially rejected
(1) This rule applies to a document if—
(a) the registrar rejects the document under this division; but
(i) the registrar subsequently accepts the document; or
(ii) the court or a judicial officer subsequently directs the
registrar to accept the document.
(2) The registrar must record the filing of the document in the court and,
if appropriate, seal or stamp the document.
Rule 6145
(3) If the registrar records the filing of the document, the registrar must—
(a) if the document is filed in paper form—return any copies of the
document filed with the document for sealing or stamping; or
(b) if the document is filed in electronic form—give written notice
of the acceptance of the document.
(4) The document is taken to have been filed in the court on the day it
would have been filed if the registrar had not rejected the document.
Note Rule 6126 (2) (Date of filing) deals with the date of filing.
(5) If the document is rejected by the registrar (whether or not more than
once), the document is taken to have been filed in the court on the day
it was first filed.
