My ex and I have been going through the courts concerning me getting contact to my son.
I won't go into all the gory details but the last hearing was 8th April last year with the case being adjourned until 31st April this year with the provision to bring it back at any time.

I now want to bring the case back before the deadline but as I am self repping, I don't know where to start.

Any advise?

This is just my layman's opinion.

Write a letter to the Clerk of the court.

Refer to the order made by Judge x on whatever date. State the Judge's expressed wish that parties be free to bring the matter back to court should circumstances require it.

Explain very briefly what has happened.

Ask that the case be re-listed for a further Directions hearing as soon as possible.

Fax it to the court and see if the clerk will accept it. Sometimes they can be picky and insist on a C2 form being completed but I don’t think that would be necessary.
