A spokesperson from the Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney-General told Lawyers Weekly that the courts have been forced to adjourn all criminal and civil matters which were scheduled for hearing over the next three days (12 - 14 January), unless the parties can agree to dispose of the matter in an alternative fashion.
