Notice to the Profession — Commercial Court Short/Expedited cases list

The Chief Justice has authorised the issue of the following notice.

The Commercial Court is introducing a new list for the hearing and determination of urgent matters and shorter trials. 

The purpose of the Short/Expedited Cases List is to identify matters which may be suitable for or require: 

1. an earlier trial date because the matter only requires a trial of short duration, or 
2. an expedited trial (being one which is urgent but too long to be heard and determined by the duty judge).
