Understanding the Caboolture Court List
The daily law list shows which cases will be heard, who must attend, and which courtroom each matter is in. It’s essentially the day’s timetable for criminal, traffic, domestic-violence, and civil hearings. Each entry includes the case number, the defendant’s name, and the reason for appearance—such as first mention, sentencing, or adjournment.
When and How It’s Updated?
Queensland Courts publish new lists early every morning and refresh them mid-morning to reflect late changes. Because court scheduling can shift quickly, it’s best to download the latest PDF before travelling. Always check the time stamp at the top of the document.
How to Search and Read the List?
Before heading to court, it’s essential to know exactly where your case appears on the daily list. The Caboolture law list is the first place lawyers and defendants check each morning to confirm times, rooms, and hearing types. Here’s how to find and interpret it correctly so you don’t miss your matter or arrive at the wrong courtroom.
- Go to the Queensland Courts Daily Law Lists page.
- Choose Caboolture Magistrates Court under Magistrates Courts.
- Open the PDF for today’s date.
Inside, look for your name or case number. The left column shows the matter type and courtroom, while the right notes whether your appearance is required. If you’re unsure, call the registry before 8:30 am for clarification.
If You’re Listed to Appear
Arrive early—ideally 30 minutes before your listed time—to pass security and check in at the registry. Bring all paperwork such as your summons or bail undertaking. If you have a lawyer, meet them at the courthouse entrance or registry.
Unable to Attend?
If illness or emergency prevents attendance, contact the court immediately at (07) 5294 8000 or email courthouse.caboolture@justice.qld.gov.au. In many situations a lawyer can appear on your behalf or request an adjournment.
Missed Your Court Date?
Missing court can lead to a warrant for your arrest. Act quickly: contact the registry the same day and explain why you couldn’t attend. A Caboolture criminal lawyer can often apply to have the warrant withdrawn and a new date arranged.
After Court: Paying or Managing Fines
If the Magistrate issues a fine or order, payments are handled through the State Penalties Enforcement Registry (SPER). SPER can set up payment plans or hardship options, but ignoring notices may result in licence suspension or additional fees.
