Advice has been received that where originating process sought to be filed in the Industrial Relations Commission involves a claim for damages, in that it asserts an entitlement on the part of the originating party to an order for the payment of monetary compensation as a result of a loss or injury suffered by the claimant, then such proceedings must be certified by the filing practitioner pursuant to section 198L(2) of the Legal Profession Act 1987. Similarly, any response filed to a claim must also be certified by a practitioner in accordance with that provision.
Practitioners are advised that applications or responses that are filed without the appropriate certificate will not be able to be accepted in the Registry section (s.198L(3)).
