I understand that under the relevant Civil Rules it is necessary to request the opposing party's consent on a Notice of Motion since moving the court unnecessarily will cause the moving party to suffer a costs order if consent would have been given.

However, if the opposing party gives consent then is the Notice of Motion just filed in court at the next directions hearing (or sent through to the Registrar) without having to go through a formal application through the Registry?

How does the Notice of Motion operate if consent is given by the opposing party?
