WORKERS COMPENSATION COMMISSION RULES 2006 - REG 5.4

5.4 Lodging of statutory declarations

(1) This rule applies to a statutory declaration that is lodged by means of the ECM system.

(2) In the case of a statutory declaration lodged by a legal practitioner or agent of a party, the legal practitioner or agent is taken:

(a) to have affirmed to the Commission that he or she has possession of the original statutory declaration, and

(b) to have undertaken to the Commission that, if the Commission so directs, he or she will lodge the original statutory declaration in accordance with the direction.

(3) In the case of a statutory declaration lodged otherwise than by a legal practitioner or agent, the original statutory declaration must be lodged if the Commission so directs.

(4) Any document referred to in a statutory declaration that cannot be lodged by means of the ECM system is taken to be an exhibit, and not an annexure, regardless of the terms of the statutory declaration.
