Commonwealth Numbered Regulations

1979 No. 140 FEDERAL COURT RULES - RULE 6.11

11. (1) Without limiting the generality of the powers of the Court under rules
8, 9 and 10, orders under those rules for the further conduct of the
proceeding may include orders relating to-

   (a)  service of the order and other documents in the proceeding;

   (b)  amendment;

   (c)  appearance of added parties; and

   (d)  substitution of one party for another party or former party.

(2) Where the Court orders that a party be substituted for another party or a
former party, all things done in the proceeding before the making of the order
shall, unless the Court otherwise orders, have effect in relation to the new
party as those things had effect in relation to the old, but entry of
appearance by the old party shall not dispense with entry of appearance by the
new.

(3) Subject to sub-rule (2), where a party is added pursuant to an order under
rule 8 or rule 10, the date of commencement of the proceeding so far as
concerns him shall be the date of filing of the originating process amended so
as to add him as a party or, where an amended originating process is not
filed, the date of the amendment adding him as a party.
