I have done some further research and I now understand that the court timetable will resemble the parameters of the Scomo case. With the case now lodged, my revised projected timeframe is as follows:-

CASE	Scomo		Husic (likely)
lodged	01/06/2022		12/02/2025
case management hearing	20/07/2022*	plus 50 days	04/04/2025
Respondent to file defence	5/10/22**	plus 77 days	20/06/2025
Discovery	mandatory		27/06/2025
Applicant to file evidence	30/11/2022	plus 56 days	15/08/2025
hearing	15/03/2023		TBA
* this hearing was adjourned to 10/8/22
** the court directed the bundle to be provided by 5/10/22 and affidavits to be provided by 2/11/22

The major variable in the projection is the Federal Election. The timing of the election could have a bearing on the timetable. The result of the election could also have a bearing on when mediation starts.

Right now, the key date for me is the timeframe to the Government filing it's defence. I don't believe they will file a defence because they do not actually have a defence. The Australian Government Solicitor will not sanction a defence of this case under the model litigant policy.

JMO. Not advice. GLTAH.
