Greetings Crown(s);
How can we remain as Crown whilst representing a Corporation in a civil eg. : Order 1.17 (General Civil Procedure 2015) – enforcing that a corporation shall not take a step in a proceeding save by a solicitor…
Greetings Crown(s);
any (highly sought after and appreciated) insight on the following?;
RE: Order 1.17 (General Civil Procedure 2015) – enforcing that a corporation shall not take a step in a proceeding save by a solicitor. If it is the case that the defendant company seeks to have a person concerned or connected with it seek leave to speak at a hearing, the only document it can file is a Notice of Appearance. The capacity of the person seeking leave to speak needs to be endorsed on the Notice of Appearance.
OTHER MATTERS
A. On 20 December 2023 the Tribunal ordered that the hearing scheduled for 31 January
2024 be vacated.
B. The Tribunal has received correspondence from the respondent dated 17 January 2024
attaching a number of documents including documents headed “Bill of Lading”. The
Tribunal gathers from the documents that the respondent wishes to make an application,
but the nature of the application is not clear.
C. As the documents are incomprehensible, the Tribunal has a concern that the author of
the documents is not fit to represent the respondent, which is a company.
VCAT ORDER(s):
2. At the directions hearing the Tribunal will hear submissions as to whether:
(a) the documents submitted by the respondent on 17 January 2024 should be
rejected by the principal registrar;
(b) whether Mr Tony Mite should be allowed to continue to represent the
respondent; and
(c) directions as to any application which the respondent wishes to make should be
given.

Dear Filer, Please note the following matters which require the attention of the proposed filer ? Order 1.17 of the Supreme Court General Civil Procedure Rules 2015 provides that a corporation shall not take a step in a proceeding save by a solicitor. If it is the case that the defendant company seeks to have a person concerned or connected with it seek leave to speak at a hearing, the only document it can file is a Notice of Appearance. The capacity of the person seeking leave to speak needs to be endorsed on the Notice of Appearance. The correct template for a Notice of Appearance is linked – https://www.supremecourt.vic.gov.au/…/notice-of-appearance In addition to the above, the following forms are not known to this court, Bill of Lading, Special Affidavit of Executor, Notice of Special Appearance and Protection Certificate. It is recommended that the defendant company seeks legal advice.
