Supreme and District Courts of Western Australia
We attend these Registries on a regular basis to conduct litigation or due diligence “name searches” to determine if any individual or company has been involved in legal proceedings through these registries. Searches are ordered by this office and then carried out by Court staff as the public are not authorised to access Court computers in Western Australia. We then attend each Registry to collect and pay for the results which are then scanned and emailed to your office.
We are also able to assist with other services at these Registries such as filing and collection of documents.
We currently act for many well known national solicitors and nationwide information brokers.
Due to privacy restrictions set by this Registry it is not possible to conduct a general litigation search within this Court unless we represent a party to the action. In some instances, an application can be made to the Registrar outlining the reasons why a search is required and each application is determined on its own merit. Please contact our office should you require any further information in relation to this.
