Certain documents to be referred back to Attorney-General of the Commonwealth

    (1)     This rule applies if the registrar reasonably believes that—

        (a)     a request for service in the ACT does not comply with rule 6562; or

        (b)     the document to which the request relates is not a foreign judicial document; or

        (c)     compliance with the request may infringe Australia's sovereignty or security.

    (2)     The registrar must refer the request for service in the ACT to the Attorney-General of the Commonwealth together with a statement of the registrar's belief.

Note     The Attorney-General of the Commonwealth will deal with misdirected and non-compliant requests, make arrangements for the service of extrajudicial documents and assess and decide questions concerning Australia's sovereignty and security.
