Non- Jury and Judicial Review List
Directions for lodging papers and correspondence with Registrars in the Non-Jury and Judicial Review List have been updated.
- Papers for hearings in Non-Jury, Judicial Review and Asylum Lists must be lodged in the List Room no later than the Tuesday of the week prior to the hearing date. Papers for hearings will not be returned and will be shredded. They must be re-lodged prior to any new hearing date.
- Any application for late lodgement of papers must be made to the List Judge at the callover on the Thursday of the week prior to the Hearing date.
- The callover takes placed on a hybrid basis and begins at 10am. Parties must also indicate at the callover whether the hearing will be physical, hybrid or remote. If no preference is given, the hearing will be physical. If there is no attendance at the callover, the hearing will be struck out.
- Correspondence to the registrars, mailbox or Judicial Assistant seeking permission for the late lodgement of papers, requests to change the mode of hearing or applications to reinstate hearings that have been struck out will not be acknowledged. No additional or missing documents will be accepted by email. Any further applications must be made to the Court at the end of the list any day.
- Lodgement of papers in advance is no longer required for Case Management hearings. If there are papers which the parties wish to bring to the attention of the Court, these may be handed in by the solicitor when the matter is called.
- Papers for Judicial Review ex parte applications listed in the Monday Judicial Review Ex parte list and the Monday Asylum Ex parte list must be lodged in the List Room no later than the Monday of the week prior to the list (no later than seven days before the listing). Due to capacity issues in the List Room, papers can only be accepted from a fortnight before the listing date.
- If the Court directs that an application for leave to seek Judicial Review is to be made on notice, the applicant or applicant's solicitor must liaise with the solicitor for the respondent prior to the return date to ascertain if the leave application will be contested. If the leave application will not be contested, the applicant or applicant's solicitor must hand in a copy of the Statement of Grounds to the Judge in court. If the leave application is contested by the respondent(s), a hearing date will be given, and papers must be lodged in the List Room prior to the hearing in accordance with Item 1 above.
- Papers are not to be lodged in the List Room for matters listed for mention. If there are papers which the parties wish to bring to the attention of the Court, these are to be handed in when the matter is called.
- The Non Jury and Judicial Review mailbox (nonjuryjudicialreview@courts.ie) should primarily be used to send in terms of orders or to request that certified actions are listed for mention to get a hearing date. The most efficient way of raising queries is to mention your query to the Non-Jury and Judicial Review registrar before the List or at the end of the list on Tuesday-Friday inclusive. Most other requests to list matters for mention can mentioned to the Judge at the end of the List on Tuesday.
- Once the Certificate of Readiness has been filed in the Central Office, please email nonjuryjudicialreview@courts.ie along with a soft copy of the Certificate. The action will be listed for mention on the next available Wednesday.
- Consent applications in the Non-Jury and Judicial Review Lists will be taken by the registrar on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:15. On Thursday, consent applications will be taken at the end of the callover of hearings.
