SCCO Group Listing

Group listing: Listing

In addition to the standard listing of cases on the day on which the cases are to be heard, the group will be set out on the cause list for the day before the group list to assist parties to confirm that their case is still listed to be heard.

Any case which settles, save for the costs of the assessment proceedings, will be listed at 10 o’clock on the day of the Group List for a 30 minute summary assessment of those costs before one of the Masters.
