How open are the Courts in the COVID-19?
16 April 2020| 
Bernadette is a highly experienced and respected Commonwealth administrative law advocate who has represented Commonwealth agencies in thousands of merits review, judicial review and statutory interpretation matters for more than three decades.
A fundamental principle of Australia’s judicial system is that justice takes place in an ‘open court’ – facilitated by hearings being conducted in open view of the public.
As remote hearings are increasingly (and necessarily) being relied upon by Australian Courts and Tribunals, Bernadette Rayment and Katherine Evans, members of Sparke Helmore’s Government team, speak with Barrister Greg Johnson in this podcast about the issue of protecting and delivering open justice in the digital COVID-19 world.
