The Lists are simply indicative of matters before the Courts, the outcomes of which are yet to be determined. We use our best endeavours to provide Court Lists which are free of errors but give no warranty as to their accuracy or completeness.

The public/private nature of a sitting is dependent upon such issues as statutory requirements and case confidentiality and privacy requirements and the important principle of open justice.
