Could now be a delay in our next hearing date-MAYBE guess its upto the judge
'The home of most corporate litigation in Australia, the Federal Court, is vacating all in-person hearings until the end of the financial year, effective from tomorrow.
"Unless specifically and individually excepted by the Court, all Federal Court of Australia listings that require in person attendance, including mediations and listings relying on video link from court premises listed up to 30 June 2020, are vacated," a statement from the court said.
"The Court is examining, as a matter of urgency, its capability to facilitate listings by remote access technology, without requiring in person attendance. Further information will be provided as soon as possible of alternative arrangements that may be able to be put in place."
Parties with hearings listed before 30 June will be contacted by the court to discuss if there are other means for case to be resolved.
Whether listings will proceed in the short term will be decided by individual judges and registrars in consultation with the chief justice.'
