There will be a Positive callover of all cases set down for the Galway Personal Injuries List on Wednesday the 20th December 2023 on a Hybrid basis at 10.30 a.m before Mr Justice O’ Connor to fix dates for the Sittings commencing the 12th February 2024. As this is a Positive callover, where there is no Appearance by either party the Notice of Trial will be Struck Out. No applications for Consent adjournments will be taken by the Registrar.

Please see the attached list here; Galway PI Callover

As noted in the Callover List Mr Justice O’ Connor requires any party attending to be fully briefed in the case and in a position to advise the Court of the required information. For this reason we will only be in a position to deal with the following applications at the Callover;

  • Attend on Counsel
  • Strike Out matters on Consent
  • Call matters on for hearing on Consent (for this application we will require to know the dates of compliance with Order 39 Rule 46)

If you require us to attend on Counsel or make an application on your behalf you should forward your instructions to reach us no later than 1.00pm on Tuesday the 19th December 2023. No instructions will be taken on the morning of the callover.

In keeping with previous Callovers and as noted at the beginning of the Callover; adjournments, regardless of if they are on Consent, may result in the Notice of Trial being Stuck Out.
