The following is issued on behalf of the Judiciary:
 
     As the Black Rainstorm Warning Signal has been cancelled, the Judiciary has announced that all court and tribunal hearings will be resumed or held as scheduled tomorrow (August 6).
      
     Those who were due to attend court hearings today (August 5) but were affected by the issuance of the Black Rainstorm Warning Signal, including jurors, should do so at 9.30am tomorrow.
      
     Those summoned for jury empanelment in the High Court this morning are not required to attend court until further notice in writing.
      
     Court/tribunal registries and offices will open tomorrow. Before that, court users may use the integrated Court Case Management System (iCMS) for those electronic services which have been implemented at individual court/tribunal registries as usual. Any documents filed via the iCMS during the registries' closure will be deemed to have been received upon their reopening.
      
     It is anticipated that there will be a significant number of people going to court tomorrow, so court users are advised to arrive at the court buildings earlier, especially during the busy periods in the morning or after lunch.
