Tonight: ADR in the Federal Circuit and Family Court in 2022

18/08/2022

Webinar - 18 August 2022

Tonight Thursday 18 August, at 5.15 pm, the NSW Bar Associations ADR Committee will present a session on 'ADR in the Federal Circuit and Family Court in 2022'.

The new Family Law Rules have meant that parties should not file proceedings until they have engaged in dispute resolution, exchanged documents and made a genuine attempt to settle the dispute outside of litigation. As part of creating a consistent internal case management pathway, dispute resolution has been placed at the forefront to ensure just outcomes are achieved for parties in an efficient manner. It is an expectation of the court that both parties and their legal representatives make every effort to participate in dispute resolution. Presenters Neil Jackson and Mary Rebehy will address the role that Mediators can play in adapting to these new Court Rules, particularly in relation to the stage of pre-litigation procedure.

Attendees are encouraged to submit questions in advance. Questions can be submitted at the time of registration or via email to cpd@nswbar.asn.au.
