Practice and Procedure in the Planning and Environment Court
Date: Thursday 16th October
Time: 4.30pm - 6pm
Location: Dublin Dispute Resolution Centre
Speakers will be announced in due course
Practice and procedure in the Planning and Environment Court is something of an amorphous beast. Between the ever changing Practice Direction (with further proposed amendments to be introduced in September/October 2025) and the introduction of the new Rules of the Superior Courts in June 2025, it is incumbent on practitioners to stay on top of what is required of them when practising in the List.
The first PELGBA event of the 2025/2026 legal year will provide a detailed analysis of the HC Practise Direction 126 and Order 103 of the Rules of the Superior Courts to assist practitioners gain a comprehensive understanding of the practice and procedure in the Planning and Environment Court.
