Who should appear at a Case Management Conference (CMC)?

The parties themselves, or their agents on record, may appear at a Case Management Conference (CMC). The discussion between the parties and the Registrar is private, without prejudice and generally of a non-legal nature. Hence, for instance, it is not a necessity that the primary lawyer on the file attends the CMC. A sufficiently advised colleague from the same firm of agents may appear instead if the primary person-in-charge is unable to do so.
