The Uniform Civil Procedure Rules govern how civil proceedings are conducted in NSW courts. Understanding these rules is essential for anyone involved in litigation.
The Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 2005 (NSW) (UCPR) are a comprehensive set of procedural rules that govern how civil proceedings are conducted in the NSW Supreme Court, District Court, and Local Court.
The UCPR were introduced to simplify and standardise civil procedure across NSW courts. Before the UCPR, each court had its own separate rules, which created complexity and inconsistency. The UCPR brought these rules together into a single, unified framework.
Part 10 of the UCPR deals specifically with service of documents. It sets out the requirements for personal service, service by post, service on corporations, and substituted service. Compliance with these rules is essential — improper service can result in proceedings being set aside.
Citiserve Pty Ltd's process servers are thoroughly familiar with the UCPR and ensure that all service is effected in strict compliance with its requirements. Every serve is accompanied by a sworn Affidavit of Service that meets the court's requirements.
