Rule 6 - Filing: Time of Filing and Effect of Technical Problems(a)Manner of Filing - General(1) A case, other than a case filed ex parte or a case in which a party pays the filing fee at the court, shall be considered initiated and filed with the court when: (A) the case-initiating document has been electronically submitted to the court's electronic filing system; (B) the filing fee, if applicable, has been paid electronically, or a properly supported motion to waive the filing fee has been submitted; and(C) the submission has been acknowledged as received by the court's electronic filing system. (2) A document, other than a document filed ex parte or a document for which the filing party pays the filing fee at the court, shall be considered filed when: (A) it has been electronically submitted to the court's electronic filing system; (B) the filing fee, if applicable, has been paid electronically or a properly supported motion to waive the filing fee has been submitted; and (C) the submission has been acknowledged as received by the court's electronic filing system.(3) Emailing or faxing documents shall not constitute "filing" with the court. (b)Manner of Filing - Special Cases(1) Cases or documents filed ex parte. When case-initiation or other documents are filed ex parte, the filer shall file the documents electronically, and must also physically appear at the court where the matter will be heard to complete the filing process. No ex parte submission shall be considered complete until the filer physically appears at the court. Failure to appear at the court within five (5) business days of the electronic filing may cause the ex parte submission to be purged from the electronic filing system. (2) Cases or documents for which the filing party will mail the filing fee or pay the filing fee at court. When fees for case initiation or other documents are not paid online and instead are paid through U.S. mail or at court, the filer shall pay in person at the court where the matter will be heard or mail the filing fee to the address specified by the court, to complete the filing process. No submission shall be considered complete until the fee is paid. Failure to pay the filing fee within five (5) business days of the electronic filing may cause the submission to be purged from the electronic filing system. Filers may pay at the court with cash, check or credit card or through the U.S. mail by check. (c)Time of Filing and Effect of Technical Problems (1) An electronic filing may be made any day of the week, including weekends and holidays, and at any time of day that the electronic filing system is available. The expansive availability of the electronic filing system shall not affect the provisions for computation and extension of time set forth by statute or court rule.(2) A document is timely filed if it is filed before midnight on the date the filing is due. If a filer encounters technical problems when attempting to make an electronic submission, the following rules apply. (A) If a technical problem with the court's electronic filing system prevents the court from receiving an electronic submission on a particular court day, and the electronic filer: (a) demonstrates that he or she attempted to electronically file the document on that day; and (b) electronically submits the document on the first court business day that the technical problem no longer exists, the court will deem the document as having been received on the day that the technical problem prevented the filer's submission.(B) Technical problems on the filer's end, including but not limited to phone line problems, problems with the filer's internet service, or problems with the filer's hardware or software, will not constitute a technical failure under these rules and will not excuse an untimely filing, unless the court orders otherwise. (3) A party who files a document within 48 hours prior to a court proceeding must comply with Rule 15, regarding service of the document, and must also bring paper copies of the document for delivery to other parties during the court proceeding.(4) A party who files a document during a court proceeding must bring paper copies of the document for delivery to other parties during the court proceeding. (5) If the clerk discovers an error or defect in a filer's electronic submission of a document, the clerk may notify the filer of the error or defect, identify corrective actions to be taken by the filer, and establish a date by which the filer must correct the error or defect. The failure of a filer to correct the error or defect by that date may result in action adverse to the filer. N.H. Pil. R. Cir. Ct. Elect. Fil'g 6
