- Notice to Practitioners: Range of hearing dates
Practitioners are reminded that it is important that the courts resources are efficiently utilised and for this purpose a range of available dates is maintained by the Registry. The court expects parties to organise their matter including expert evidence, which may include the evidence of an expert appointed by the court so that it can be fixed for hearing within the available range. Only in exceptional circumstances will a matter be fixed for hearing outside the range.

Litigants in Person News.........
The Land and Environment Court of NSW is pleased to announce that there are 2 recent Registry initiatives to report upon in relation to the development of a body of material to assist those persons appearing in the Court without legal representation. These developments are as follows:
The Land and Environment Court of NSW has published a document entitled 'Litigants in Person in the Land and Environment Court of NSW' - this document can assist those persons without internet access to obtain important information about the Court.
In addition we have produced a further initiative called 'Litigants in Person - an On-line Guide' available from the website after 1 September 2004.
We would be pleased to receive any feedback you may wish to send us with regards to these 2 initiatives.

Callover listing arrangements from 1 March 2004 - Classes 1 and 2
By direction of the Chief Judge, new matters in Classes 1 and 2 of the Court’s jurisdiction will be listed for first callover 6 weeks from the date of commencement.
The exception will be if the applicant tells counter staff on the day of commencement that the application will be served on the respondent sooner than the 7 days provided for by clause 3 of Practice Direction 17. In this case, the date of first callover will be 5 weeks from the nominated date on which service will be effected.
PLEASE NOTE: Respondents in matters (usually local councils) can choose to be automatically advised of any new matters commenced at the Court via the LEC’s eCourt computer system. Councils who wish to receive this instant notification will simply need to establish a ‘Public User’ account in eCourt to register their details. More information on eCourt?
