Do I need to attend any court hearings?

The Court will notify you when your matter is listed for a hearing. Usually, this will be for the Final Hearing, where you will have the opportunity to tell the Judge about the errors you say were made in the migration decision that you are asking the Court to review.

You must attend any hearing in your matter, unless the Court tells you that your attendance is not required. If you fail to attend a hearing, your matter may be dismissed for non-appearance, and you may be ordered to pay the Respondent’s legal costs.

Your hearing may be electronic (video or phone) or in person.

For more information about the different types of hearings see Migration: Hearing types.
