Efficient conduct of civil litigation
The Chief Justice of Queensland has issued Practice Direction 18 of 2018 to ensure that Supreme Court civil claims are resolved quickly, fairly and at a minimum of expense.
The Practice Direction requires the parties to a claim to do certain things so that the claim progresses quickly and efficiently and a mediation or trial proceeds in a cost-effective and well-organised way.
A Plain English Guide and associated explanatory documents have been published on the Efficient conduct of civil litigation page to assist practitioners and self-represented litigants.
