Court specific case management

Depending on the court in which a claim is proceeding, the proceedings may be subject to specific rules in the CPR and also to provisions which are additional to those set out in the CPR. These additional provisions are generally set out in the relevant court's guide, though certain courts also set out additional guidance in ‘Practice Notes’ which are issued on an ad hoc basis by the judiciary. For information and links through to the specialist court guides, see Practice Note: Court guides and other guidance. For information on other guidance issued by the judiciary, see Practice Note: Dispute Resolution—judicial practice notes and guidance.

Given the courts' pro-active and robust case management of claims before them, it is important that practitioners are aware of and comply with these additional provisions.
