The new CPR format

You will probably have noticed the CPR site looks different. It's more than a mere cosmetic change - we've taken account of the feedback received from our website survey.

A few points:

- although the look is similar to the tSO's CD-ROM, it more particularly incorporates W3C accessibility guidelines and reflects design features of our new LCD general site (to be launched late autumn/early winter);
- we are aiming to provide you with simple navigation from any point within the CPR site and have added top-of-page content indexes for ease of access to information;
- a complete set of zipped copies of the rules, correct as at each update from Day 1 in 1999, is now available in HTML, PDF and Word versions;
- where new text is substituted for old, the new text is highlighted. Where text has been deleted, the old text is shown using 'strikethrough' text;
- a complete set of the rules as they were at the 23rd Update can be downloaded;
- from the 25th Update, the CPR index will be fully HTML-linked;
- although the search engine remains the same, we aim to update this within the next few months.

Further details about the new CPR site are available in the Help page.

Please note - our website service is provided as a convenience to court users: the definitive versions are the printed or CD-ROM versions published by The Stationery Office.
