North Sydney Courthouse will close as a Local Court and reopen as a temporary Children's Court. This will leave the highly populated Lower North Shore without a courthouse. Practitioners fixing a hearing at the Downing Centre List Office will be issued with a notice giving more information about attention to matters prior to hearing. Practitioners should collect one of these forms. The introduction of the Civil Claims Defended List call-over at the Downing Centre has been successful.
Practitioners can expect fast track disposition of claims from now on.
