The Business Tribunal Talk

From 18 May 2020, VCAT will be progressing currently listed matters using telephone or video conferencing where they can reasonably proceed.

If a matter is currently listed to be heard on or after 18 May 2020, VCAT will contact parties to confirm whether their matter will progress on the listed date and by which technology.

The technology used will depend on the requirements of the matters such as their length, complexity and the number of parties.

Matters that can be determined ‘on the papers’ will continue to be determined in that way.

VCAT will advise when face-to-face hearings resume.

All listed matters which can only proceed face-to-face either have or will be adjourned until a future date to be fixed. Mediations conducted by VCAT Panel Mediators will resume.

VCAT appreciates the challenges presented by our response to the pandemic, and thanks you for your patience. We are still accepting all relevant matters and will contact you to discuss potential hearing dates.
