Working alongside Judicial Registrar Julie Clayton in this newly created position in the Court, Judicial Registrar Martin Keith will be responsible for early case management and hearing and determining interlocutory applications primarily in the Court’s Trusts, Equity and Probate List and Judicial Review and Appeals List. He will also support other specialist lists in the Division and conduct judicial mediations.
