If agreement is not reached, the commissioner or judge may discuss some of the practicalities of the hearing. He or she will talk to you, and the other parties, about things like:
when the hearing should be held and how long it will take
where it should be held (if not in Adelaide)
if lay witnesses will be heard in a country location rather than in Adelaide
what special arrangements (if any) are going to necessary for the hearing
what other steps (if any) the parties need to take before the hearing
Usually the commissioner or judge will be able to decide at the conference when and where the hearing will be held. You will be handed a notice giving you the hearing date and location. Sometimes though, those things will not be able to be decided on the spot and so your case will have to be postponed (or ‘adjourned’) to a directions hearing.
