NSW Supreme Court introduces new measures for disputed deceased estate cases
22/05/2009
Disputes over the allocation of deceased estates will be resolved faster, more easily and with less expense in the NSW Supreme Court, thanks to a raft of initiatives to be formally introduced next month.
Under changes prescribed in the Equity Divisionâs new **Practice Note SC Eq 7, to take effect from 1 June, **applications under the Family Provision Act and the Succession Act will now:
â¢ï¿½ï¿½ �require compulsory mediation; â¢ï¿½ï¿½ �be case-managed online prior to hearing, if appropriate; and â¢ï¿½ï¿½ �use a standard affidavit to provide a more efficient and cheaper resolution process.
