I efiled an application in a case. The application states on it that I filed on May 29 2018. It was not sealed until 3 days after. I am informed that the date of filing is not the same as the date of sealing and that the date of filing is May 29 2018. However, the judge made an order that states that my application of June 1 2018 be dismissed.
I raised the matter with chambers who state that "when you filed the application, you would have received notice that it would be processed within 3 working days and this was listed and actioned on 1 June 2018, hence the date of sealing being 1 June 2018."
I strongly disagree with chambers because the date of sealing is not the same as the date of filing. I therefore would be very grateful if someone could provide to me the Family Court Rule or Law that I can depend on that states an application in a case is considered filed on the date it is filed and not on the date it is sealed. Thank you.
