About this listen

The overwhelming majority of matters before the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia do not proceed to trial, or are resolved by agreement with the assistance of Registrars. Many parties to proceedings will not see a Judge and appearances before Registrars will be their only experience of the courts.

This is because of the carefully designed case management pathway managed and implemented by Registrars. Effective case management focuses on identifying barriers to resolution and addressing them - whether that be through an interim hearing, expert report or dispute resolution conference, as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Case management involves more than just identifying the legal issues, and in this episode Senior Judicial Registrar and Executive Director National Registrar Operations and Practice Anne-Marie Rice is joined by two Registrars who explain what practitioners can do to help move their matters to closure and what should be avoided.
