eLodgment

The Supreme Court is piloting an Electronic Document Lodgement service, or eLodgment, for the civil jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.

eLodgment enables members of the legal profession and approved litigants to lodge a writ of summons and statement of claim at the Court registry and pay court fees online. Sealed service copies are available online immediately to the lodging party.

eLodgment is authorised by Order 67 rule 20 of the Rules of the Supreme Court 1971. O.67 r.20 requires that eLodgment occur by means of the Court's web site. The Supreme Court has approved a web site for the purposes of eLodgment only. For further information contact the Supreme Court on (08) 9421 5330 or email central.office@justice.wa.gov.au.
