Registering Orders Made by a Court or Tribunal

Registration of Orders Made by a Court or Tribunal

Orders made by a court or tribunal may be registered in the civil jurisdiction of the  local court for enforcement. Once registered the amount owing becomes a Judgment of the NSW Local Court.

This may include

• Orders for Criminal Compensation or Costs.
• Orders made by the Consumer and Commercial Division of NCAT
• Orders made in the NSW Local Court or Courts of other States and Territories.

The amount to be enforced must be within the local court jurisdiction, less than $100,000 to be registered in the local court.

Orders (or certificates of order) are registered by completing Form 45: Form Registration/filing of certificate of judgment or order.

There is a fee for the registration of a certificate or order and further fees apply for enforcement. Enforcement action can be sought at the same time as the registration and Forms for any enforcement must also be completed.
