If the Points of Defence ‘denies’ a claim, this means that the respondent does not agree with what is claimed in a specific paragraph.

In your Points of Defence, you can also include legal issues that you claim demonstrate that you are not responsible for any breaches of the law or that the applicant is not entitled to what they are seeking in their summons.

Your Amended Plans (and any application for leave to amend plans) must have attached written particulars that indicate the nature of the changes to the original plans.

Amended Statement of Claim

A Statement of Claim may be amended once without the court’s permission if it is done within 28 days of the original document being filed. If more than 28 days has passed, or if you have already amended your original Statement of Claim once before, you must ask for, and obtain, the Court’s permission to file an Amended Statement of Claim.  

If your case is in the Local Court’s Small Claims Division, you can ask for permission to amend when you appear at the Pre-Trial Review. In any other cases, you need to file a Notice of Motion (UCPR 20) to obtain an order to amend.

Notice of Motion - Writ for Levy of Property (UCPR 65)

The Notice of Motion Writ for Levy of Property is an application made after a court has awarded judgment in your favour, or your client's favour. You use this form to apply for an order that permits the Sheriff of New South Wales to seize and sell the debtor's personal property (excluding real estate) so that the proceeds of any sale can be paid towards the amount owing.
It is only possible online to nominate ONE address in New South Wales that the Sheriff should attend to seize property from the debtor. If the property you intend the Sheriff to seize is located at multiple addresses, you will need to file your motion by post, or over the counter at the Registry location where your judgment was issued.

Although you are not required to pay a fee to file this motion, you will need to pay the fee the Sheriff requires in order to execute the writ. This fee will be calculated after you have answered the form questions. If you have been granted a fee postponement or fee waiver, you cannot file this form online. You will have to file by post or at the registry. Read more about fees and payment.

Assuming your application is in order, the Registry will issue a Writ for Levy of Property and send directly to the Sheriff the information they need to seize the property
