Rules r 4 No. 111, 1999 †CHAPTER 1—PRELIMINARY ˙Short title 1. These rules may be cited as the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999. ˙Commencement 2. These rules commence on 1 July 1999.1 ˙Application 3.(1) Unless these rules otherwise expressly provide, these rules apply to civil proceedings in the following courts— • the Supreme Court • the District Court • Magistrates Courts. (2) In a provision of these rules, a reference to “the court” is a reference to the court mentioned in subrule (1) that is appropriate in the context of the provision. ˙Dictionary 4. The dictionary in schedule 4 defines terms used in these rules. 1 The Rules of the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court (Admiralty) Rules 1988, Rules under and in pursuance of the Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments Act 1959, the District Court Rules 1968, and the Magistrates Courts Rules 1960 expire at the end of 30 June 1999—Supreme Court of Queensland Act 1991, section 118B and Acts Interpretation Act 1954, section 18. The Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 will commence at the beginning of 1 July 1999—section 2 and Acts Interpretation Act 1954, section 15B. r 11 50 Uniform Civil Procedure Rules r 13 No. 111, 1999 relief and— (a) the Act or rules do not state the type of originating process to be used; or (b) a type of originating process (other than a claim or application) is required or permitted under a law. ˙Application permitted 11. A proceeding may be started by application if— (a) the only or main issue in the proceeding is an issue of law and a substantial dispute of fact is unlikely; or (b) there is no opposing party to the proceeding or it is not intended to serve any person with the originating process; or (c) there is insufficient time to prepare a claim because of the urgent nature of the relief sought. ˙Oral application permitted 12. A court may allow a proceeding to be started by oral application by a counsel or solicitor for an applicant if— (a) urgent relief is sought; and (b) the counsel or solicitor undertakes to file an application within the time directed by the court; and (c) the court considers it appropriate having regard to all relevant circumstances. ˙Proceeding incorrectly started by claim 13.(1) This rule applies if the court considers a proceeding started by claim should have been started by application or may more conveniently continue as if started by application. (2) The court may— (a) order that the proceeding continue as if started by application; and (b) give the directions the court considers appropriate for the conduct r 14 51 Uniform Civil Procedure Rules r 15 No. 111, 1999 of the proceeding;4 and (c) make any other order the court considers appropriate. ˙Proceeding incorrectly started by application 14.(1) This rule applies if the court considers a proceeding started by application should have been started by claim or may more conveniently continue as if started by claim. (2) The court may— (a) order that the proceeding continue as if started by claim; and (b) give the directions the court considers appropriate for the conduct of the proceeding;5 and (c) if the court considers it appropriate—order that any affidavits filed in the proceeding be treated as pleadings, alone or supplemented by particulars; and (d) make any other order the court considers appropriate. ˙Registrar may refer issue of originating process to court 15.(1) If the registrar considers an originating process appears to be an abuse of the process of the court or frivolous or vexatious, the registrar may refer the originating process to the court before issuing it. (2) The court may direct the registrar— (a) to issue the originating process; or (b) to refuse to issue the originating process without leave of the court. 4 See rule 367 (Directions). 5 See rule 367 (Directions). r 16 52 Uniform Civil Procedure Rules r 17 No. 111, 1999 ˙Setting aside originating process 16. The court may6— (a) declare that a proceeding for which an originating process has been issued has not, for want of jurisdiction, been properly started; or (b) declare that an originating process has not been properly served; or (c) set aside an order for service of an originating process; or (d) set aside an order extending the period for service of an originating process; or (e) set aside an originating process; or (f) set aside service of an originating process; or (g) stay a proceeding; or (h) set aside or amend an order made under rule 127;7 or (i) make another order the court considers appropriate. †PART 2—RULES ABOUT ORIGINATING PROCESS ˙Contact details and address for service 17.(1) A plaintiff or applicant must ensure— (a) if the plaintiff or applicant intends to act personally, the following details are on the originating process before it is issued— (i) the residential or business address of the plaintiff or applicant; (ii) for a proceeding in the Supreme Court or the District Court—if the address specified under subparagraph (i) is 6 See also rule 373 (Incorrect originating process). 7 Rule 127 (Service of other process by leave) r 21 55 Uniform Civil Procedure Rules r 23 No. 111, 1999 †PART 3—CLAIMS ˙Application of pt 3 21. This part applies to claims. ˙Claim 22.(1) A claim must be in the approved form. (2) A plaintiff must— (a) state briefly in the claim the nature of the claim made or relief sought in the proceeding; and (b) attach a statement of claim to the claim. (3) The claim and attachment must be filed and then served on each defendant. (4) Subrule (3) does not require service on a defendant personally if the claim and attachment are served in accordance with the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 or the WorkCover Queensland Act 1996. ˙Claim must include statement about filing notice of intention to defend claim 23. The plaintiff must ensure a claim has a statement on it telling the defendant— (a) the relevant time limited for filing a notice of intention to defend;10 and (b) that if the defendant does not file a notice of intention to defend within the time, a default judgment may be obtained against the defendant without further notice. 10 See rule 137 (Time for notice of intention to defend). r 24 56 Uniform Civil Procedure Rules r 26 No. 111, 1999 ˙Duration and renewal of claim 24.(1) A claim remains in force for 1 year starting on the day it is filed. (2) If the claim has not been served on a defendant and the registrar is satisfied that reasonable efforts have been made to serve the defendant or that there is another good reason to renew the claim, the registrar may renew the claim for further periods, of not more than 1 year at a time, starting on the day after the claim would otherwise end. (3) The claim may be renewed whether or not it is in force. (4) However, the court’s leave must be obtained before a claim may be renewed for a period any part of which falls on or after the 5th anniversary of the day on which the claim was originally filed. (5) Before a claim renewed under this rule is served, it must be stamped with the court’s seal by the appropriate officer of the court and show the period for which the claim is renewed. (6) Despite subrule (1), for any time limit (including a limitation period), a claim that is renewed is taken to have started on the day the claim was originally filed. †PART 4—APPLICATIONS ˙Application of pt 4 25. This part applies to an application that is an originating process. ˙Content of application 26.(1) An application must be in the approved form. (2) An application must name as respondents all persons directly affected by the relief sought in the application.11 11 The court may direct that others be included as respondents—see rule 69 (Including, substituting or removing party). r 27 57 Uniform Civil Procedure Rules r 27 No. 111, 1999 (3) Subrule (2) does not apply if these rules or another law authorise the hearing of the application without notice being given to another person. (4) The application must list the affidavits to be relied on by the applicant at the hearing. (5) The applicant must specify in the application the orders or other relief sought in the proceeding. (6) If an application is made under an Act, the application must state the name and section number of the Act under which the application is made.
