How do I issue a summons?
Practice note No.7 explains how to file and serve a summons.
What form(s) do I use to submit an affidavit or statement?
There is no prescribed form under the ADT Act or Regulations. However, if you contact the Registry they can provide you with an example of an affidavit or statement. Copies of the example affidavit or statement can be obtained from our website at www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/adt.
Please ensure that the names of the parties, the Division and file number are clearly recorded on the affidavit. An Affidavit must be sworn/ affirmed in front of a Justice of the Peace or a Solicitor.
You are required to file sufficient copies of the affidavit and any attachments for the Tribunal and all parties.
How do I file documents?
Where there is a fee payable on an application form you can file in person at the Registry or by post, enclosing your cheque or money order - payable to the Administrative Decisions Tribunal.
Other documents may be filed in person, by post or by facsimile depending on the size of the documents. (Please do not fax a document that is greater than 6 pages). Once received they will be stamped ‘filed’. The Tribunal will keep the original and return a copy to you for service on the other party(ies).
How many copies of documents do I have to have?

If you are unsure please contact the Registry.
How do I get a copy of a decision?
The Tribunal’s written decisions are routinely published on the Tribunal’s website www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/adt.
The written decision should be available on the Internet within 48 hours of the decision being given to the parties.
If you are searching for a recent decision, click on Most Recent Decisions.
If the decision you are looking for is not shown under Most Recent Decisions you can use the search options by clicking on either Quick Search or Advanced Search. For assistance on our how to use the search options you can click on the Search Guide.
Alternatively, you can search for decisions under the Division of the Tribunal they were made in any given year. This will give you the option of a search under most recent cases (cases delivered in the last 50 days), by decision number, view case names or by decision category.
Please note that if the decision you are looking for is not available it may be because:
the decision was made before the commencement of the Administrative Decisions Tribunal’s jurisdiction,
the decision has a suppression order and therefore will not be published, or
the decision is an oral decision.
