Court User Group
A Court Users Group was established in 1996 as a consultative committee comprising of representatives from interested organisations. The Group meets three times a year and assists with improving Court services by making recommendations to the Chief Judge about:
- improving the functions and services provided by the Court;
- ensuring services and facilities of the Court are adapted to the needs of litigants and their representatives.
The Group has an advisory role and has no authority to require any action or change. However its deliberations have been a catalyst for a number of initiatives, such as the 1999 Pre-Hearing Practice Direction and a survey of electronic callover users resulting in significant improvements to callover procedures.
