Chief Justice's Advice regarding Staggered Resumption of Face-to-Face Hearings in the Supreme Court of NSW from Monday 1 June

29/05/2020

The Chief Justice has today confirmed that the Supreme Court will be resuming a limited number of face-to-face hearings from Monday 1 June 2020. Parties with face-to-face hearings next week have been notified directly, including the start, finish and break times. These have been staggered to reduce the possibility of congestion in lift lobbies and other locations and to promote physical distancing.

All other matters will continue to be conducted via the virtual courtroom and parties in those matters will have received the courtroom login / dial-in details.

In order to comply with physical distancing guidelines the public lifts at Queens Square and Hospital Road are limited to two people at a time. It is recommended that legal practitioners arrive 15 minutes before their start time in case there are short delays.
