Step 5 File Proof of Service
You must file the Statutory Declaration of Service in the court office. You should do this as early as possible but at least two days before the date of the court hearing. If the documents are in order, the application will be listed for court and the court hearing will be confirmed.
Please Note: If the Statutory Declaration of Service is not filed in time, the court hearing will not go ahead.
