The President of the District Court has decided that given the developing COVID-19 situation and the need to focus on prevention of community spread of COVID-19 the following additional measures shall apply concerning the business of the Court regarding consent adjournments in private family law cases.

Applications for adjournments or court orders with all parties consent can be applied for by email to the relevant court office and will not require solicitors or their clients to attend courts. The applicant will be notified of the adjourned date by the court office or the parties provided with the perfected order in due course.
