NSW Supreme Court introduces new measures for disputed deceased estate cases
Fri May 22 2009Disputes over the allocation of deceased estates will be resolved faster, more easily and with less expense in the NSW Supreme Court, thanks to a raft of initiatives to be formally introduced next month.
Under changes prescribed in the Equity Divisionâs new Practice Note SC Eq 7, to take effect from 1 June, applications under the Family Provision Act and the Succession Act will now:
â¢ï¿½ï¿½ �require compulsory mediation; â¢ï¿½ï¿½ �be case-managed online prior to hearing, if appropriate; and â¢ï¿½ï¿½ �use a standard affidavit to provide a more efficient and cheaper resolution process.
