Parties are expected to act reasonably in exchanging information about the claim, defences and counter-claim including relevant documents in support of their case and generally work towards avoiding the necessity for the start of proceedings. It is also imperative to consider the suitability of mediation or another form or dispute resolution to resolve the matter.

Additional powers are available to the courts if it is considered that due to the behaviour of the defaulting party proceedings have been started that might otherwise not needed to be commenced. Further, those could also be used if the court believes non-compliance has led to costs being incurred that might otherwise not have been incurred.
