What happens after Civil court
Your case may have a number of adjournments before the Judge or County Registrar will make a final decision.
When your case is finalised, the Judge or County Registrar may:
- Make a decision based on all the facts of your case. This decision is called an order or a judgment. There may be a number of Court dates prior to a final decision being reached.
- If the case is settled between you and the other party, then it may be marked as settled, struck out. (In this case no follow up order is issued).
- A copy of the order or judgment if made, will be available to you when the case is finalised.
- If you are not happy with the order or judgment, you may be able to appeal to a higher court. There are time limits for appeals so you should contact support services or consider getting legal advice. Alternatively, you can speak to a Court Services staff member about this.
- If you are unsure about anything when your case has finished, you can ask the Court Registrar or call to the court office for further information.
