After your hearing

Once the hearing ends, a few things may happen

The decision

  • The judge or County Registrar may give a decision straight away
  • In some cases, the decision will be given later and sent to you

Court order or judgment

You'll receive a written version of the decision called a court order or judgment

If you're unsure

  • Ask the court registrar to explain what happens next
  • Or contact the court office afterwards

Appealing a decision

  • If you're unhappy with the outcome, you may be able to appeal
  • There are strict time limits, so speak to your solicitor or court staff as soon as possible
