Remote and digital hearings

Joining information

Use only the joining details supplied by the court or tribunal administration for the hearing. Do not rely on an old invitation, informal server message or link supplied by someone who is not authorised to administer the case.

Before the hearing

Check the hearing notice and any directions, make sure you can use the required service, and contact court administration promptly if an access or communication problem may prevent participation.

Confidentiality and recording

Any restriction on recording, publication, attendance or disclosure continues to apply in a remote hearing. The practical use of Discord or another digital service does not change the court’s jurisdiction or the authority of the judge or tribunal.
