Acting Chief Justice Emerton has authorised the issue of the attached notice.

In accordance with s 11(2) of the Constitution Act 1975 (Vic), proceedings commenced in the name of the Queen or in which the Queen was named as a party are carried on in the name of the King. Practitioners should therefore ensure that, to avoid being requested to correct documents before they are accepted for filing, all future court documents refer to “The King”, regardless of when the proceeding was commenced. To that end, practitioners should update any templates they may use.
