The forms may be modified as the circumstances require, provided that all essential information, especially information or guidance which the form gives to the recipient, is included.

This practice direction contains 3 tables –

- Table 3 lists county court forms in use before 26th April 1999 that will remain in use on or after that date (see paragraph 5 below)
1.4
Former prescribed forms are shown as ‘No 00’. The former practice forms where they are appropriate for use in either the Chancery or Queen’s Bench Division (or where no specific form is available for use in the county court, in that court also) are prefixed ‘PF’ followed by the number. Where the form is used mainly in the Chancery or Queen's Bench Division, the suffix CH or QB follows the form number.

This table lists the forms that are referred to and required by Rules or Practice Directions supplementing particular Parts of the CPR.

For ease of reference, forms required for claims in the Commercial Court, Technology and Construction Court and for Admiralty claims and Arbitration claims, are separately listed.
