	Armsys  #542338  Wed, 16 Jul 08 01:31 PM Hi Marius, It's the term constantly mentioned by a solicitor, of which I have no idea. It seems to be a court date but defnitely not a direction hearing. Armstrong    Armsys

	CalifJim  #542887  Fri, 18 Jul 08 03:29 AM Your use of the term solicitor indicates a court system based on British law.  Maybe someone British can answer. Here in the U.S. we use the term lawyer, and I've never heard of a "Call Over".   CJ     CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member (16,995) "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche

	Armsys  #543284  Sat, 19 Jul 08 12:29 AM Hi Optilang, Thanks for your help. It seems your URL is broken. Surprisingly, the legal system of Australia and Hong Kong are similar. Nonetheless, using your supplied URL, I find out more listings on Callover through Google. Thanks again. Armstrong    Armsys

	Tanit  #543427  Sat, 19 Jul 08 08:27 AM Hi, I've edited the link in Optilang's post. Now it should work, so please try again (warning: it's a pdf file).    Tanit Joined on Mon, Jul 31 2006 In the middle of the Mediterranean Sea Senior Member (2,151) A man can do only what he can do.

	Armsys  #543448  Sat, 19 Jul 08 09:39 AM Hi Tanit, Thanks for revitalize the link. The explanation denotes that it's more serious than I previously thought. I suspect the judge could issue orders and a penal notice as well during the Callover, can't he/she? Thanks for your help. Armstrong    Armsys
