Updates

- 28th Update - this comes into force on Monday, 8 July. It contains one item, a new practice direction on the Pilot Scheme for Small Claims. For details of changes please see the Notes to Accompany.

- 29th Update - the next update will be published in early October

Intention to remove the Word version

As a result of the problems we experienced at the publication of the 27th update we have given serious consideration to removing the Word version of the CPR from the 29th update onwards. Whilst the html, pdf and printed versions of the rules are managed on a single tSO database, the Word version is managed separately. That requires unnecessary additional resources to prepare and in the Department to proof-read two sets of the same material at every update.

In the interests of increasing accuracy it is therefore our intention to make them available on line in html, pdf and zip versions - as well as tSO's printed and CD-ROM versions - from the 29th update onwards.

Hong Kong Consultation Paper

The Chief Justice of Hong Kong appointed a Working Party in February 2000 to review the civil rules and procedures of the High Court. The Working Party has now published the Interim Report and Consultative Paper for public comment and feedback.

Consultation has been extended and now ends on 30 June 2002.
