Will the court be as relaxed as the tribunal was?

• Generally no. Once a matter has escalated to judicial review you and the government body will be appearing in a regular court complete with all of the formality required by that forum.
• Depending upon the subject matter and legislation under which your original decision was made, your judicial review hearing might be heard by a District, Supreme, Federal Magistrate’s Court or Federal Court.
• Each has different protocols and hearing requirements that a lawyer can assist in explaining.
