The By Lawyers District Court Litigation publication has been revised following the Court’s re-issue of Practice Note DC (Civil) No. 1. The revised practice note commenced on 31 August 2020.
The revision of this critical practice note also provided the opportunity for an author review of the District Court litigation publication, with resulting enhancement.
Both the Acting for the Defendant – District Court Civil (NSW) and Acting for the Plaintiff – District Court Civil (NSW) Guides have been reviewed. The matter plan is re-ordered and the procedural requirements of the practice note are further emphasised.
In addition, a new precedent Letter to client enclosing Practice Note DC (Civil) No. 1, has been added to each guide. The new precedent assists practitioners in complying with the court’s disclosure requirements.
This review and the addition of the new precedent is part of By Lawyers continuing commitment to enhancing our content and helping our subscribers enjoy practice more.
