The Chief Justice has reissued Practice Note SC CL 4. The revised Practice Note commences operation on Monday, 25 May 2020.

The main changes are:

· the inclusion of definitions;
· the removal of the name of the judge that is assigned to the list to avoid the practice note needing to be updated in the future; and
· Para 19 which states:
Upon the determination of any issues raised at the second listing, the matter will be referred to the Chief Judge. If the Chief Judge is also satisfied that the matter is ready for hearing, the Chief Judge will allocate a hearing date.
