When a person has been injured as a result of a crime committed against them, they are entitled to apply for damages under the Victims of Crime Act. All applications for compensation under the Victims of Crime Act are brought in the District Court.
The masters of the court supervise this list, holding directions hearings in the early stages of proceedings. Most matters settle after an early directions hearing. Matters which proceed to trial before a judge are listed within three months of a pre-trial conference being held.
