Welcome to the Newcastle Local Court List, which details upcoming hearings and legal proceedings within the Newcastle jurisdiction. This list includes a diverse range of matters, encompassing criminal, civil, and family law cases, all of which are handled by the court in accordance with the relevant legal frameworks.

In the criminal law sector, the court will hear cases involving summary offenses, including driving offenses, theft, assault, and drug-related offenses, as well as more serious indictable offenses that may be committed to higher courts for trial. Common legal terms in these proceedings include bail applications, remand hearings, plea hearings, sentencing hearings, and trial dates. The court also addresses domestic violence orders (DVOs), with hearings for both applicants seeking protection and respondents defending against the orders.

In the civil domain, the Newcastle Local Court handles small claims, debt recovery matters, contract disputes, and personal injury cases. The court may also deal with property disputes and probate matters, particularly related to wills and estates.

Family law proceedings, such as parenting orders, child protection issues, and divorce matters, are also scheduled in the court, with a focus on safeguarding the welfare of children and resolving family disputes fairly and justly.

This list is regularly updated, and all parties are advised to check for the most current information regarding court hearings, adjournments, and changes to the schedule.
