Avoid Service of Process
It is useful to collect together documents relevant to both partners’ finances and property. If you are planning to leave the home, get copies of statements, which show bank account numbers, superannuation figures, membership numbers etc for both of you. Any letter should outline the matters in dispute, the steps that have been taking to resolve the matter, the required solution and a timeframe for this to occur.
In New South Wales the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 2005 set out the manner in which a person is to be served. An order for the production of the prisoner must be addressed to the Avoid Service of Process custodian of the prisoner, and may be subject to specified conditions. In addition, the court may stay the proceeding until the issuing party provides security for expenses .
Division 2 of Part 3 of SEPA applies to subpoenas addressed to a person who is in prison in another State and who must attend before the court to comply with the subpoena . The issuing party must also serve a copy of a subpoena to produce on each other party to the proceeding as soon as practicable after serving the respondent. You should seek legal advice or contact your nearest Magistrates’ Court if you are unsure of the service requirements. Carmen's lawyer advised that she could send Daniel a letter of demand.
You should seek legal advice if you cannot serve documents on another party. Under theFair Work Act 2009your employer must grant you leave to perform jury service. Your employer cannot deduct the time from your recreation leave or any other leave.
It is very important that a jury does not conduct its own research or make its own inquiries. The jury must reach a decision based on the evidence presented in court and the directions given by the Trial Judge. That should be done by the foreperson putting the question into writing and passing the note to a jury officer. The jury officer will pass the question to the Trial Judge.
If it has been a short marriage the fact that you brought property into the marriage, and your partner did not, is likely to be relevant when trying to decide how to divide up the matrimonial assets. If it has been a long marriage, during which both of you have made various contributions, then your ‘initial contribution’ of bringing property into the marriage may be less relevant. You may have to consider who can continue to pay the mortgage, whether one partner can pay out the other partner, and which parent the children are going to live with for most of the time. Sometimes the family home will have to be sold so that each partner gets their share of the property. You can start working out the details of a property settlement as soon as you have separated. Married couples do not have to be divorced to get a property settlement worked out.
The term “property” includes the family home, any other real estate, cash in bank accounts, cars and other vehicles, investments and superannuation entitlements. If talking doesn’t work, the next stage is to write to the other party outlining your position. This provides another opportunity for the other party to resolve the dispute. It can also be used as evidence of your attempt to resolve the dispute if you need to use another means of resolution. This could include dates, times, product or service details, warranties, photographs, leases, agreements or contracts and a summary of discussions or previous correspondence between the parties. Your dispute may be with a customer, supplier, business partner or employee.
All the property owned by you and your partner, either in your joint names or in your individual names, is known as the “matrimonial asset pool”. As we don’t know whether you are or were married, or if you are or were in a de facto relationship we refer to your husband or partner as “your partner” in this legal information section. A mediator is appointed to assist both parties to reach an amicable solution to their dispute. The mediator is not the decision maker and assists the disputing parties to decide on the outcome. Consider using an alternative method to resolve the dispute such as negotiation and mediation.
Make a list of possible solutions to discuss with the other party – be realistic and prepared to negotiate. Often the most costly part of resolving a dispute is the time spent dealing with it instead of running your business. If the other party could not be located, you may be able to apply for an order to dispense with service. You will need to tell the Court of the efforts you have made to locate the other party.
Generally speaking, these types of documents are required to be served personally. Personal service involves serving the relevant document on an individual. “Service” of a document is the process of making sure that any person who is required to be given a copy of a legal document is given it in a way which complies with the relevant legal rules. This may be appropriate if the respondent is deliberately avoiding service.
In each case how you manage the dispute may vary, however there are some key steps you can follow to handle the issue and retain good business relationships. If the person being served refuses to take the documents the server may put them down in the person’s presence and tell the person what the documents are. Any brochures or other accompanying documents required to be served at the same time. Service of Court documents is an essential, if sometimes frustrating, part of the process of beginning Court proceedings. It is essential, because the Court must be confident that the other party to proceedings is aware that the Court proceedings exist, so they have an opportunity to respond.
