Through Counsel
What to bring
Papers to bring
- The main case: its number and year, the court, the names of the parties and the next date
- Proof of the urgency: medical papers, a notice of demolition or auction, a job or travel letter, or a higher court's order fixing a time
- Proof that a copy was given to the other side's advocate: the copy signed as received, or the postal receipt
Where to go
Filed through your advocate in the court where the case is pending, after notice to the other side; the court decides whether to bring the date forward.
Fee
Court fee and welfare stamps, where needed, are put on as the court office directs; ask the counter for today's amounts. The advocate's fee is separate.
Good to know
- The court rarely brings a date forward without notice to the other side; keep the proof of notice with the application.
- If you are a senior citizen, or the case is very old, say so: courts often give such cases priority.
Papers and fees can change. Check with the office before you go. Guidance only, not yet reviewed by a lawyer.
