The written submission is an important component of a party's case in VCAT proceedings. It is the permanent record of the party's contentions and argument. The written submission ought to be concise, accurate and, importantly, persuasive.
In this workshop, the presenter will outline the principles of good drafting and the 'golden rules' of writing for VCAT.
It will not only cover the written submission but other important documents which precede and follow a Tribunal hearing including the officer's report to Council, correspondence with applicants, permit conditions and letters to the Tribunal. If poorly drafted, these documents can negatively impact on a party's case.
Designed for
Planners, lawyers and consultants who would like to develop and improve their advocacy skills at the Tribunal.
