What this form is for

• • Use this when you need to officially tell people about a scheduled hearing in an Irish court.
• • This is needed after a trial date has been set, but before the actual day of the hearing.
• • It serves as the formal notification document from the Courts Service of Ireland (COURTS).
• • Do not use this if you are simply requesting a hearing; use it when one is already booked.
