I’m encouraging people to have a say on how tackling everyday legal problems can be improved. The NSW Attorney General has released ideas on how to reform our state’s civil justice system to help people get the best advice and services.
With issues such as: obtaining a refund, a neighbour dispute, paying a bill or a landlord disagreement, the matter should be able to be resolved quickly, cheaply and, in most cases, outside court.
We need to hear from people about how we can deliver new smarter and cheaper ways to fix legal problems. Each year, 2.8 million people in NSW face a serious legal problem, with 85 per cent in civil law.
The government’s Justice for Everyday Problems consultation paper describes the kinds of problems dealt with by the civil justice system, the services available to resolve disputes, and ideas for change. You can see more at www.haveyoursay.nsw.gov.au
COOPERABUNG ROAD
The massive NSW and Federal government investment in the Pacific Highway upgrade continues apace. For Telegraph Point residents, there will be traffic changes.
The intersection of Cooperabung Drive and the Pacific Highway will be temporarily closed from Monday December 12 to March 2017, weather permitting. A new temporary access to turn left and travel north on the highway will be provided at Wyndell Way.
