Commonwealth Numbered Regulations

1979 No. 140 FEDERAL COURT RULES - RULE 53.10

10. (1) A respondent who desires to appeal from a part of the decision from
which the applicant has appealed, or to seek a variation of a part of the
decision, need not institute a substantive appeal, but he shall, within 21
days after the service upon him of the notice of appeal, or within such
further or other time as the Court fixes, file in the Registry a notice of
cross-appeal and serve a copy of the notice upon the applicant and any other
person affected by the relief which he seeks.

(2) The notice of cross-appeal shall state what part of the decision he
cross-appeals from or contends should be varied and shall state briefly, but
specifically-

   (a)  the grounds of the cross-appeal;

   (b)  the question or questions of law to be raised on the cross-appeal; and

   (c)  the relief which he seeks in lieu of the decision appealed from or the
        variation of that decision which he seeks.

(3) It is not necessary to give notice of cross-appeal if a respondent
proposes to contend that some matter of law has been erroneously decided
against him but does not seek a discharge or variation of a part of the
decision actually pronounced or made.
