You could also call this:

"What happens when you get a notice to go to court for a hearing"

Illustration for Motor Vehicle Sales Act 2003

You make an application for a court order under section 69. The Registrar of the District Court sets a time and place for a hearing. The Registrar gives notice of the application and hearing time to you, the other party, and anyone else who seems to be involved. This notice is in a special form. When the application is heard, you must go to court and tell the judge about important matters. You can give evidence or call witnesses to support your case. The other party can also go to court, give evidence, or call witnesses. Anyone else who got a notice can go to court and be heard too.
