By Naomi Neilson|30 December 2020
In a touching end-of-year address, the NSW Chief Justice has reflected back on 2020, with admiration for the judges, practitioners and court staff that ensured administration of justice was still achieved during one of the world’s worst global crises.
From the use of courtroom technology through to a change in admission practices, the NSW Supreme Court altered its day-to-day norm to suit the restrictions that came with the global pandemic. According to the Honourable Chief Justice Tom Bathurst AC, the other courts may have equalled their efforts, but “I do not believe any have bettered it”.
