Legal / Courts Service Abbreviations

Victor

I wonder if there is a list of abbreviations used by the Courts Service. For example, on this page http://www.courts.ie/LegalDiary.NSF/PDADoc?openagent&DocID=C359B4E9B8C1AB588025738700400F31&View=HCNJL&Start=1&Finish=8540

Examples here are:
2007 988 - is this case 988 of 2007?
1D
3D
4D
ANOR = Another
DN
NJ
ORS = Others
SF
SS
T/A = Trading as
WKS

NJ means non-jury (AFIK).
As far as I know, DN is the Dublin list number, i.e. the number that a case gets from the master list (once it has been transferred into the list to fix dates) prior to a date being fixed for the matter, not to be confused with the record number :-).

The "2007 988" is the record number, which gets set by the central office and will often hvae more information after it, e.g. 2007 988 JR to signify that it is a judicial review matter and belongs in the Judicial review list
