The Supreme Court website is now linking to the Court’s Case Management system which provides “Full Case Details”. At present this link only operates for “Current Cases” but will soon be available for all case pending before the Court. The Case Management system means that “Case Details” are available in relation to each case: dealing with each stage of the appeal, the lodging of documents, the hearing and the judgment. The Case Details also contains a short summary of the issues in the case.
