Parramatta. Judges ignore intention

NSW Opposition legal affairs spokesman Greg Smith said it would be cheaper for victims and many lawyers if trials could be held in Western Sydney but Supreme Court judges, who work in the Sydney CBD, did not want to be based in Parramatta "It was always the intention that Supreme Courts would be permanently based at Parramatta," he said. "Supreme Court judges sit outside Sydney's CBD and, indeed, in regional areas, if and when required. This includes both trial and appeal work," a Supreme Court spokeswoman said.
