What Form 114 is for
A party to a native title proceeding may appoint a society, organisation, association or other body as its agent under section 84B(1) of the Native Title Act 1993, and must notify the appointment in Form 113. Rule 34.131(2) of the Federal Court Rules 2011 then requires the party, within 14 days after any change in the agent's name, contact details or address for service, to file a notice in accordance with Form 114. The form also has a section for a newly appointed agent, which the new body signs to accept the appointment.
