Regulation 10
Time of filing of appropriate Form or document, submitted through electronic filing service

If an appropriate Form or document is submitted through the electronic filing service, the appropriate Form or document is treated as filed on the date and at the time the first part of the transmission of the appropriate Form or document is received in the electronic filing service.
Subregulation 2
Despite paragraph (1), where the submission of an appropriate Form or document through the electronic filing service is unsuccessful or delayed because of a failure or inability of the electronic filing service to transmit or process the appropriate Form or document, the Registrar may —
on the Registrar’s own motion or on the application of the party who submitted the appropriate Form or document, make an order for the appropriate Form or document to be treated as filed on an earlier date than that on which the first part of the transmission of the appropriate Form or document is actually received in the electronic filing service; and
in the case of an unsuccessful submission, require the appropriate Form or document to be resubmitted through the electronic filing service.
Subregulation 3
Every application under paragraph (2)(a) must be accompanied by proof, to the satisfaction of the Registrar, of the matters relied on to support the application.
Subregulation 4
Where an appropriate Form or document rejected under rule 13(6) is refiled through the electronic filing service, the appropriate Form or document is treated as filed only on the date on which it is subsequently accepted for filing by the Registrar, and not before.
