If a practitioner is concerned
about a delay in delivering a reserved judgment in a case
in which he or she is acting, the practitioner should
raise the matter with the President of the Bar Association
or Law Society of the State or Territory in which the
case was heard, providing the name of the parties, the
name of the judge or judges whose decision is reserved
and the date on which the decision was reserved.
The President will refer the
inquiry to the Chief Justice without disclosing the identity
of the practitioner expressing concern. The Chief Justice
will then take up the matter with the judge or judges
whose decision is reserved.
The Court has a goal of delivering
each judgment within three months from the date on which
the judgment was reserved.
