Dublin Circuit: assignment of hearing dates
Family & Child Law
03/05/2013
Solicitors are reminded that, not alone are hearing dates assigned from the list to fix dates in the court, but also dates are assigned in the case progression process by the county registrar. Practitioners are encouraged to, if possible, agree in advance with their opposing solicitor on possible dates for the hearing of the case.
Following recent discussions with county registrar Susan Ryan, it appears that a considerable amount of difficulty is being caused in the administration of the lists by solicitors coming in and seeking to vacate dates already assigned. This is particularly true if there is only a short time to the hearing date.
