Use the current form: F36 is a registrar’s certificate. A self-represented party should not treat it as a personal affidavit to complete in place of the registry’s certification process.
Role in an undefended case
Rule 10-10(2) requires a Certificate of Pleadings in Form F36 as part of the requisition package for judgment in an undefended family law case.
What the certificate says
The form certifies that the pleadings and proceedings are in order, subject to any exception the registrar notes. It is a procedural check; it does not replace the judge’s responsibility to decide whether the requested final relief can be granted.
Why pleadings matter at this stage
The final order sought should be supported by what was actually claimed in the pleadings. If the relief in the draft order does not match the claim, the package may need correction rather than simply a different certificate.
F36 also appears in Rule 14-4
The form is also referenced by Rule 14-4(5). Always check which procedural route applies to the case you are dealing with.
