When you need help on a SD …..

All of us face situations on a Service Desk where a client presents a document which is unfamiliar to the Justice. When this happens, please take time to read through the document carefully to check

• that a New Zealand Justice of the Peace has jurisdiction to administer the form
• that the client has completed all the necessary sections

Ask the client if they have received any written instructions eg from a lawyer and if so, read and follow these.

It is also recommended that all of us save on our mobiles, the contact number of two or three trusted colleagues, so that we can make a quick phone call to obtain a second opinion when questions arise.
