Notices to practitioners issued by the NSW District Registrar  

Admiralty and maritime matters in the NSW District Registry (NSW 2004/4)

Note: This practice notice was superseded on March 1 by Practice Notice NSW 2006/2

The Sydney Admiralty Panel now consists of Tamberlin J, Emmett J, Hely J and Allsop J. This Panel deals with all first instance Admiralty and maritime matters in the New South Wales Registry.

Practitioners should ensure that Registry staff at the time of filing are told that the matter is one for the Admiralty and Maritime Panel. A list of the statutes encompassed within the Panel’s work is attached.

Urgent Admiralty and Maritime Applications in the NSW District Registry

If practitioners have urgent Admiralty or maritime applications, they should be made to Allsop J as the Practice and Procedure Judge or Tamberlin J, directly or via the Duty Judge. If neither is available, another Judge on the Admiralty Panel (Emmett J or Hely J) may be approached. This arrangement is not intended to change the procedure under the Admiralty Rules as to the application for arrest to the Registrar.
