Advice for practitioners
Practitioners and parties are advised that, in order to avoid personal appearances for the hearing of directions hearings, reviews, mentions, applications, pre-callover reviews and callovers listed in Brisbane, appearances on all such matters should be by telephone.
The party with the onus should email the relevant Judge’s Associate a single electronic appearance slip recording all proposed appearances, having ascertained relevant details from the other parties. That email should also include the proposed agreed order or the competing versions of orders sought. It should be sent to the relevant Judge’s Associate by 4.00pm the day before. The Associate will, upon receipt, email the parties with the details for telephone appearances.
This section provides information about common procedures that legal practitioners and other parties to an appeal should follow where appropriate.
