Rule 8 - Registration Requirements(a)Registration. To initiate a supreme court case or to file or receive a document through the court's electronic filing system, a person must first become a registered e-filer by completing an online registration and accepting the conditions of electronic filing, including those set forth in the "Responsibilities of Registered E-Filer" section of this rule.(b)Responsibilities of Registered E-Filer.(1) A registered e-filer is responsible for all documents that are filed via the registered e-filer's username and password. A registered e-filer shall not knowingly cause or permit the registered e-filer's log-in information to be used by any other person; provided, however, that an attorney may permit the attorney's log-in information to be used by attorneys and nonlawyer assistants over whom the attorney exercises supervisory responsibilities in compliance with the New Hampshire Rules of Professional Conduct.(2) Any electronic filing, or downloading or viewing of an electronic filing, made by use of a username and password shall be deemed to have been made with the authorization of the person registered to use the log-in information.(3) If a person's log-in information is misappropriated, misused or compromised in any way, the person registered to use that log-in information must promptly notify the clerk.(4) For good cause shown, the court may issue an order prohibiting a registered e-filer from filing electronically in a particular case or in all cases.(5) A registered e-filer must maintain an electronic service address during the pendency of the case at which the registered e-filer consents to receive and agrees to accept through the electronic filing system copies of electronically submitted documents, as well as notices and orders issued electronically by the court. Whenever notice or service to a registered e-filer is required, notice or service to the electronic service address of record in the electronic filing system shall satisfy the requirement and shall be deemed binding on the registered e-filer and on any party that the registered e-filer represents in the case.(6) A registered e-filer must maintain accurate contact information in the court's electronic filing system. This obligation is separate from, and in addition to, a party's obligation under Supreme Court Rule 26(9) and a New Hampshire Bar member's obligation under Supreme Court Rule 42E to provide accurate and up-to-date contact information.(7) If a registered e-filer is no longer a participant in any pending supreme court case and does not wish to remain active in the electronic filing system, the registered e-filer may deactivate his or her registration status in the system.Adopted March 29, 2018, effective 3/29/2018; amended effective 1/1/2020; amended effective 1/1/2020.
