Advance lodgement of court booklets no longer required

Practitioners are asked to note an important update in relation to the Dublin County Registrar’s lists and the requirement to lodge court booklets in advance.

With effect from 14 March, the requirement to lodge booklets of pleadings and/or motion booklets for the Dublin County Registrar court lists in the Dublin Civil Office, and the Dublin Family Law Office, will cease.

Motion booklets

Due to the easing of restrictions, the Dublin County Registrar courts will revert to pre- pandemic practices where the booklet of pleadings and motion booklets are handed into court on the day of hearing, and will be returned to the practitioner in court. 

From 14 March, any booklets sent in by post will be returned with the notice attached.

Booklets will not be taken in at the counter in the Dublin Civil Office or Dublin Circuit Family Law office, the Courts Service has confirmed.
