Succession Act 1965 section 122

Proceedings to be in chambers

Section 122 requires that all court proceedings relating to this Part of the Act must be heard in chambers rather than in open court.

• All proceedings under this Part of the Succession Act 1965 must be heard in chambers.
• Hearings in chambers take place privately, meaning the public and press do not have a right to attend.
• This ensures confidentiality for families involved in succession disputes or applications.
• The requirement applies to all proceedings under this Part, with no exceptions or discretion for the court to direct otherwise.
