Admiralty and maritime matters in the NSW District Registry (2003/1)
The Sydney Admiralty Panel consists of Beaumont J, Whitlam J, Tamberlin J, Emmett J, Hely J and Allsop J. This group handles all first instance Admiralty and maritime matters begun in the New South Wales District Registry.
Practitioners should ensure that Registry staff at the time of filing are told that the matter is one for the Admiralty Panel.
Urgent Admiralty and Maritime Applications in the NSW District Registry
If practitioners have urgent Admiralty or maritime applications they should be made to either Tamberlin J or Allsop J, directly or via the Duty Judge. If neither is available any other Judge on the Admiralty Panel (Beaumont J, Whitlam J, Emmett J and Hely J) may be approached. This arrangement is not intended to change the procedure under the Admiralty Rules as to the application for arrest to the Registrar.
