Litigant In Person And Pro Bono Coordinator
vor 2 Wochen
Litigant In Person and Pro Bono CoordinatorA significant proportion of matters in the Federal Court of Australia involve litigants in person (LIPs).
There are practice areas, such as migration, where the prevalence of LIPs is particularly high.
As lay users of the court, LIPs face challenges with the preparation and articulation of their case.
LIPs also present challenges to the Court in relation to their understanding of Court practice and procedure and of the limitations on the level of assistance that the Court can provide.
The Court has specific duties in relation to LIPs.
The Court must ensure that a LIP is given a fair and reasonable opportunity to present their case.
This includes the provision of information about Court practice and procedure.
This invariably means that matters involving LIPs require careful case management involving Judges, Registrars and Registry staff.
To address the particular needs of LIPs, the Court is in the process of developing an LIP Strategic Plan, aimed at implementing a more structured whole-of-institution approach for the work of the Court that involves LIPs.
This includes facility for the referral of LIPs to pro bono legal assistance where warranted.
Together with the Judges of the Court, the Litigant In Person Registrar has overall responsibility for the implementation of the Court's LIP Strategic Plan and pro bono referral program.
