Application Notice to Court

The Application Notice to Court is a document that is used to request a court to deal with an application. It is an important document as it provides the necessary information for listing the application and ensures that the court is aware of the details of the case. The document consists of several sections that need to be filled out accurately.

 

The first section of the document asks how the applicant wishes to have their application dealt with. They can choose between a hearing, a telephone conference, or without a hearing. If a hearing is chosen, the applicant needs to complete all the questions below. If a telephone conference or without a hearing is chosen, the applicant needs to complete questions 5 and 6.

 

The second section requires the applicant to give a time estimate for the hearing or conference. This helps the court in scheduling and allocating the necessary time for the application. The applicant also needs to indicate whether the time estimate is agreed upon by all parties involved.

 

The third section asks for the dates of any trial period or fixed trial date. This information is important for the court to plan and schedule the proceedings.

 

The fourth section requires the applicant to specify the level of judge that should handle the application. This ensures that the appropriate judge is assigned to the case.

 

The fifth section asks for the parties to be served. The applicant needs to provide the names of all the parties involved in the case.

 

The next section asks for the claim number and the year of the claim. This information helps in identifying the case and keeping track of the proceedings.

 

The warrant number, if applicable, needs to be provided in the following section. This is relevant if there is a warrant associated with the application.

 

The claimant's information, including their reference, needs to be filled out in the next section. This helps in identifying the party making the application.

 

The defendant's information, including their reference, needs to be provided in the subsequent section. This helps in identifying the party against whom the application is made.

 

The date of the application needs to be mentioned in the next section. This is important for record-keeping and tracking the progress of the case.

 

The applicant or their solicitor needs to complete parts a and b, and part c if applicable. They need to enter their full name or the name of the solicitor, state clearly the order they are seeking, and attach a draft of the order if possible. They also need to briefly explain why they are seeking the order and provide the material facts and any relevant rule or statutory provision.

 

If the applicant wishes to rely on a witness statement, affidavit, or their statement of case, they need to tick the appropriate box in the next section. They also need to indicate if they have provided evidence in part c of the document.

 

The applicant or their solicitor needs to sign the document and provide their position or office held. If signing on behalf of a firm or company, they need to indicate that as well.
