NSW UCPR [Form 2] List of Parties

When is a NSW UCPR [Form 2] List of Parties used?

See UCPR 4.2A for more information.

Where there are more than 2 Plaintiffs or more than 2 Defendants, this [Form 2] List of Parties MUST be filed and served by the Plaintiff with the Originating Process.

It MUST be updated, re-filed and re-served by the relevant party with any document that first records a change in the parties to the proceedings.

Convenient Reference Document

None of the approved forms has all the Parties listed on the front (unless there are no more than 2 Plaintiffs, and 2 Defendants), so this [Form 2] List of Parties is intended to be a convenient reference document for the Court and parties to retain at the front of the pleadings folder in any multi-party matter.

Re-File & Re-Serve if anything changes

It will be helpful to the Court and all Parties to update, re-file and re-serve this [Form 2] List of Parties whenever any of the information in the document changes (e.g. when all appearances or defences have been filed, when a Party changes its representative etc), in addition to the occasions mandated by UCPR 4.2A.

Contents of the Form

In the PARTY AND CONTACT DETAILS section of this [Form 2] List of Parties, you should provide the contact details of the person with the day to day conduct of the matter (if the party is legally represented), which is the information that Parties should provide at ‘contact name and telephone’ in the FILING DETAILS section on the front of all filed forms.

Co-operation Appropriate to Avoid the Need to Re-Create the List

It is appropriate for Parties to co-operate with each other to update this [Form 2] List of Parties by exchanging electronic copies of the completed form, to avoid the need to re-create it when new parties are added or contact details are changed.

One up-to-date version of this [Form 2] List of Parties will be of mutual benefit to the Parties and the Court.
