Updates

- 32nd Update - This update of the Civil Procedure Rules, published on 30th May, amends Part 43 rule 43.2 which, together with amendments to the Conditional Fee Agreements Regulations 2000 and the Collective Conditional Fee Agreements Regulations 2000, will abrogate the indemnity principle in relation to the type of conditional fee agreement covered by the amended regulations.

  A new Practice Direction 23B has been introduced, to provide for a pilot scheme for telephone hearings to operate at Newcastle Combined Court Centre from 1 September 2003 - 27 February 2004. A number of other Practice Direction changes have also been made including a change to Practice Direction 6 in relation to electronic service of documents.

  A full list of changes, together with details of coming into force dates, can be found in the Notes to Accompany.

- 33rd Update - we expect this to be published in early September.

CPR Index

An html CPR index is now available which incorporates 32nd update changes. Should you have any comments about the web index we'd appreciate your feedback to: web.comments@lcdhq.gsi.gov.uk.

Problems with court forms?

The Court Service is responsible for the provision of the CPR forms - if you have any comments or observations about the availability of court forms, please e-mail the Court Service.

The Court Service has launched a new-look website which has resulted in changes to many of its links. If you bookmarked any forms prior to 30 January you will need to re-mark them.
