When a document is filed

             (1)  A document is filed if:

                     (a)  it is lodged with the Court in accordance with subrule 1.21(1); and

                     (b)  either:

                              (i)  for a document in existing criminal proceedings--it is accepted in the proper Registry by being stamped as "filed"; or

                             (ii)  in any other case--it is accepted in a Registry by being stamped as "filed".

             (2)  If a document in existing criminal proceedings:

                     (a)  is presented to a Registry (the other Registry ) other than the proper Registry in accordance with subrule 1.21(3); and

                     (b)  is sent by the other Registry to the proper Registry; and

                     (c)  is accepted in the proper Registry in accordance with subparagraph (1)(b)(i);

the document is taken to have been filed on the day it was presented to the other Registry.

             (3)  If a document is faxed or sent by electronic communication to a Registry, the document is, if accepted by the Registry under subrule (1), taken to have been filed:

                     (a)  if the whole document is received by 4.30 pm on a business day for the Registry--on that day; or

                     (b)  in any other case--on the next business day for the Registry.

Note:          Because of the Court's computer security firewall, there may be a delay between the time a document is sent by electronic communication and the time the document is received by the Court.
