On 9 April 2025, the Federal Court of Australia published a Notice to the Profession about updates to Practice Note GPN-DUTY.
The updates to GPN-DUTY, which concerns applications to a Duty Judge for urgent relief:
- reflect the relationship between that practice note and Practice Note GPN-ENF (Enforcement, Endorsement and Contempt); and
- insert references to the relevant approved form: NCF10 – Certificate of Urgency.
