The MCFP List will address complex financial family law disputes where the value of the net asset pool is over $20 million.
The MCFP List is a pilot program in the Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane Registries of the Court. The MCFP List aims to improve case management in the family law system. The MCFP List will achieve this goal by strict timetabling, early dispute resolution, and intensive case management.
Chief Justice William Alstergren said, “Proper management of these complex cases will ensure efficient use of the Court’s resources. This will benefit other urgent and priority cases that also need to be heard in a timely manner.”
