Coffs Harbour Court House

I am yet to have a bad experience here. The sherrifs are extremely kind, funny, and very helpful. There was only one Magistrate (Rogers) sitting in one court the entire day, and you could see his patience and compassion shine through, despite the amount of matters before him. Thanks Lindy for the laugh!

I know at least one magistrate at this court was corrupt at the time I took my landlord to court around 2005. My landlord took my bond and used it to cut all the trees down on the property among other failures to provide conditions of the lease so I took him to the tribunal. Magistrate Cooper (no relation) found in his favour despite the tons of evidence I had against him and I stated she was biased and was on the landlords side, which she admitted to. The magistrate is supposed to be fair and impartial and magistrate Cooper was definitely not. For this reason she should not be permitted to continue in her job. I should have complained and sought for her to be disbarred, but unfortunately I was too upset. Thinking I'll make an official complaint anyway, even though it's been so many years. Who knows how many other people have suffered because she refuses to be fair and impartial and takes the side of the landlord!

Luckily i was only here for jury duty selection but all of the officers were really nice and accommodating to our needs. Comfortable seats and plenty of bathrooms. Parking can be tricky here so perhaps better to be dropped off
