Practice Support

The New South Wales Bar Association’s consolidated guide to COVID-19-related court arrangements has today again been updated in terms of recent developments, including Chief Magistrate's Memorandum No 10 - COVID-19 Preliminary Arrangements for return to Normal Sitting Arrangements, which among other things amends Chief Magistrate's Memorandum No 9 and attaches Notice of Readiness (DEFENCE) – Local Court of NSW - Criminal and Special Jurisdictions and Notice of Readiness (PROSECUTION) – Local Court of NSW - Criminal and Special Jurisdictions.

Members are advised in this regard that, although the Bar Association is regularly updating the COVID-19 page of its website as information comes to hand, please refer to the latest court resources directly as developments are changing quickly at this time. Do not make any assumptions regarding your case without first doing so. Links to the various court and tribunal pages are provided in the body of the guide.
