The Court’s electronic civil case database will be unavailable for one day on 31 December 2007 while essential maintenance is performed.

Although the civil registry will remain open and documents can still be filed, we expect clients will experience longer delays while waiting for assistance from registry staff. Without access to the database, staff will need to retrieve and check physical court files to answer enquiries about specific cases (e.g. to confirm previous orders made, or future listing dates). Unfortunately, as staff will need more time to locate answers to enquiries, client waiting times will increase.

Also, civil registry users should be aware that the search terminals in the level 5 registry will not be available on 31 December 2007. If a search must be performed urgently, staff will assist by providing access to hard copy registers in which cases are alphabetically indexed.

The Court apologises in advance for any inconvenience caused by the unavailability of the civil case database. Civil registry operations will resume as normal on 2 January 2008.
