Data insights in civil justice: NSW District Court report out now
Fri Jul 14 2017The Department of Justice NSW is seeking to optimise the use of civil court and tribunal data for evidence-based decision-making, specifically data from the civil divisions of the Local, District and Supreme Court, the Land and Environment Court and the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT). To facilitate this process, the Law and Justice Foundation of NSW (the Foundation) has been engaged by the Department to investigate the quality and utility of each court and tribunal’s data in informing policy and practice. This report focuses on District Court data.
This report is published by the Law and Justice Foundation of New South Wales, an independent, not-for-profit organisation that seeks to advance the fairness and equity of the justice system, and to improve access to justice, especially for socially and economically disadvantaged people.
