If you file your record after the deadline of 4:00pm on the day that is one business day before the hearing date, the registry will not put your application on the list for the hearing date.

An Application Record contains documents relating to the application in a bound format for the benefit of the judge or master hearing the application.

(A "tab" is a piece of heavier paper with a little tab that sticks out on the right-hand side with a number written on them; these are sometimes called ''tab dividers'' or ''index dividers'' by stores like Staples and Office Depot. Legal supply stores sell tabs that are numbered from 1 to 200. Avery sells a "table of contents divider" that goes from 1 to 8; Sparco sells index dividers that go from 1 to 31.)
