Given the current, but constantly evolving COVID-19 situation, the Court has determined it is not appropriate to hold Callovers at this time.
Callovers cannot be effectively or efficiently conducted electronically, and it is not possible to hold them with all of the appropriate safety measures in place (in particular social distancing) if a number of parties and/or Counsel attend in person.
Matters that were in an allocated Callover will remain in their current position in the pool of matters awaiting allocation of a trial date.
Matters which have been expedited will be individually case managed, and the parties/Counsel will be contacted with a view to the matter being directly listed, where appropriate.
The Court will continue to monitor the situation in relation to the listing of trials either through a Callover or directly, in consultation with the parties/Counsel involved. Parties will be advised if and when their matter is to be allocated to a Callover.
