Virtual Courts – a hindrance to justice, or the way of the future?

In Episode 8 of Legal Lockdown, Adriana Giometti joins General Insurance Special Counsel Sarah Wheeler for a look at how Australia’s courts have navigated the recent lockdowns through the use of online hearings.

Topics discussed:

• How to prepare for an online hearing
• Things to keep in mind during questioning
• Pros and Cons of online hearings
• What can we expect to see post-lockdown?

Consistent with Sarah’s comments regarding the future, the Supreme Court of NSW on Wednesday 20 May announced its first steps to reopening the Court to parties and the public.
