COVID-19: Information for Attending Court - updates from the Land and Environment Court and Local Court of NSW

02/07/2020

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 and includes:

• Today’s COVID-19 Pandemic Arrangements Policy from the Land and Environment Court of NSW, which takes effect on 8 July 2020; and

• Today’s Chief Magistrate’s Memorandum No 13 COVID-19 Arrangements, which replaces all previously issued Local Court COVID-19 memoranda (1-12) and takes effect on and from 3 August 2020.

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.
