1. This Notice sets out the administrative
arrangements in the New South Wales Registry for proceedings that are
to be conducted in accordance with Practice
Note No 30 – Fast Track Directions (‘the Fast Track
Directions’).
2. The coordinating Judges for fast track
proceedings in the New South Wales Registry are Justice Emmett and
Justice Jacobson.
3. An applicant who wishes a proceeding to
be conducted in accordance with the Fast Track Directions must comply
with Order 4 rule 6 of the Federal Court Rules by filing and
serving with the application an affidavit verifying the relevant parts
of the Fast Track Statement, a copy of which must be annexed to the
affidavit.
4. At the Scheduling Conference, unless it
is or has been ordered that the proceeding no longer be conducted in
accordance with the Fast Track Directions, an order will be made that
“Compliance with the requirements of the Federal Court Rules is
dispensed with to the extent that they are inconsistent with the Fast
Track Directions as they apply to this proceeding”.
5. The introduction of the Fast Track
regime does not limit the right of a party to seek an expedited hearing
of a proceeding that is not the subject of the Fast Track Directions
from the Judge in whose docket the proceeding is listed.
