Magistrates' Court (Judicial Registrars) Rules 2025

Unless the Court directs otherwise—

an application for review must be heard in open court; and

the parties to the proceeding to which the application for review relates must appear at the hearing.

In the hearing of an application for review, the parties may rely upon the following—

any affidavit filed in support of the application for review;

any affidavit or other material admitted in evidence before the judicial registrar in the proceeding to which the application relates;

a transcript of the proceeding to which the application relates;

any other affidavit or other material as directed by the Court.

An application for review is to be determined by the Court after consideration of the application and any other material referred to in paragraph (2).

The Court may—

grant the application for review and list the matter for rehearing; or

refuse the application.

If the Court grants the application for review and lists the matter for rehearing, the rehearing is to be heard by way of hearing de novo by the Court constituted by a magistrate.
