Victorian court guides

Plain-English guides to each Victorian court and tribunal, and the federal family court: what each hears, how cases start, filing, fees, hearings and appeals. Court Co-Pilot is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.

These guides describe how each court says it works. They are general information from official sources, not advice about any case.
