Litigants in Person
New initiatives
23 July 2025
In August 2024, the Court established the Litigants in Person and Pro Bono Project which introduces a whole-of-court approach to the ongoing management of matters involving litigants in person, including both administrative and judicial management. The Project also oversees the implementation of the Court’s litigants in person strategic plan.
The Court’s litigants in person strategic plan sets out objectives to ensure access to the Court, better manage matters involving litigants in person, more efficiently utilise the Court’s resources, and minimise disadvantage faced by litigants in person without conferring them with any unfair advantage compared to represented litigants whilst maintaining the Court's independence. It recognises the importance of setting expectations as to what the Court can and cannot do and what all parties must do if they seek relief in the Court.
