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.
