From time to time, the Courts issue their own "Practice Notes" dealing with certain procedures they wish to be followed.

This topic must be read with other topics dealing with the practice and procedure of our Courts.  

You should refer to our topics suggested through the direct blue links at the top and the bottom of this page.

We provide you with a direct link to the Justice Ministry Website below :

But you should first know that as at 1 November 2009 the whole District Court procedure for making civil claims changed and Statements of Claim and Statements of Defence are not used.

Here is a very helpful link with forms to use.  We repeat it at the bottom of the page so we suggest you read our information first.

Here is a direct link to the new Rules.

"Bloody useful and practical. I sued for the recovery of money owing to me by a former friend. He owed me &11,000 so I could not use the Disputes Tribunal. I used a simple Statement of Claim. I forgot the Notice of Proceeding and the Court helped me but I then noticed that you had one on Netlaw. Your documents helped me and the Court staff were pretty good too. Cheers . . . Colin Dunedin - May 2007"

"I am a retired Solicitor from Kent in England and the $45 I spent on your site was really helpful because I am intending settling in New Zealand and your "one stop shop" was a real boon to me. Thanks again. Arnold T. Devon, England"

"The fact examples or samples really helped me. Your topic also gave me confidence to speak up for myself. My case was a simple car accident but the other driver wouldn't pay and my lawyer was going to charge me $700 just to help. Netlaw allowed me successfully to "go it alone". Thanks. Thanks. I am on to making my own will now. Miriam (and hubbie)"

"A fun topic. I can remember when I was a lawyer's secretary. He had a wee figurine of a barrister on his desk with a sign on it saying "Sue The Bastards" but, then, he should know because he was a bastard too, but a very good lawyer. (name withheld)"
