Embracing New Technology Could Reduce Court Delays
New South Wales Courts
are back in swing, and
jury trials in the District Court have recommenced, now that
the most acute threat of COVID-19 spreading has subsided.
In March, when the threat of COVID-19 was just beginning to hit
Australian shores, the New South Wales Courts had to seriously
rethink the way they were able to operate.
With thousands of people coming in and out of courts around New
South Wales, each day, and with some locked in court rooms for days
during trials, the threat of potential virus transmission was
deemed too great for the courts to stay open for 'business as
usual'.
