Use the current official form: This guide explains the role of Form F32.01 under Rule 10-9(1)–(4). Always check the current Rules and official form before filing, serving or relying on a deadline.
What Form F32.01 is for
Used in urgency to ask for permission to bring a main application on less notice than would normally be required.
Key points
- The short-notice request itself may be made by F32.01 without notice and in a summary way.
- Normal time and notice rules do not apply to the short-notice request itself.
- Permission to shorten notice is different from obtaining the substantive family-law order without notice.
Practical steps
- Prepare the main application so the court can understand what must be heard urgently.
- Complete F32.01 explaining the urgency and requested shortened timetable.
- Provide the materials the registry/court requires for the summary request.
- If short notice is granted, follow the order exactly when serving and filing the main application.
Common mistakes
- Treating urgency as automatic entitlement to short notice.
- Confusing short notice with a Rule 10-8 without-notice merits order.
- Failing to follow the shortened service deadline once ordered.
