In the weeks commencing 27 February 2017 and 6 March 2017, the Sydney Registry of the Family Court of Australia will be conducting rolling lists in an attempt to address the chronic backlog of cases awaiting trial.
 
A Call Over will be conducted to identify the matters to be included in the rolling list which will take place on 30 and 31 August 2016. It is expected that 70 matters will be called over, starting with the oldest matters.
 
At the Call Over, trial directions will be made therefore it is important that you have prepared and discussed with the other parties the estimated trial duration (that is how many days you think you will need at the final hearing) and the required directions.
 
If your matter has been allocated a hearing date on either the 30 or 31 August 2016 and you are unsure of what this means or what you are required to do then contact our Family Law Department for assistance on 9281 5088.
