Wollongong Civil Disputes & Litigation Law FAQs

  • What type of matters proceed to Court?

    Civil claims typically involve private disputes over property or money. If mediation—whether through legal assistance or government agencies—has failed, you may need to take the matter to court for a formal decision. The appropriate court will depend on the type and value of the claim.

  • What are the first steps in any Local Court proceedings?

    To start a civil case in the Local Court, you must file a Statement of Claim. If the defendant does not respond, you may apply for a Default Judgment, though the defendant can request to have it set aside in some circumstances. If a Defence is filed, the case will be scheduled for court, and the next steps will depend on which division of the court is handling the matter.
