Introduction
The 42nd Update to the Civil
Procedure Rules introduces changes in a large number of areas.
Part 5 is amended to alter the regime
surrounding access by non-parties to documents filed at court. Non-parties will
now have access to all statements of case (subject to the usual protections of
rule 5.4). Parties or persons identified in statements of case may apply to
restrict release of that document.
Part 7, Part 73, PD 7, PD 10, PD 70, PD
72 and PD 73 are amended to incorporate provision for
claims made by or against partnerships into the CPR. RSC O.81, CCR
O.5 and CCR O.25 r 9 and 10 are also revoked as a
consequence.
Part 27 is amended to apply the small
claims track costs regime to appeals from cases allocated to that track.
Part 52 is amended to give the Court of
Appeal power to refuse permission for an oral hearing where permission to
appeal is denied without a hearing and the application to appeal is considered
totally without merit.
Part 54 is amended to add a procedure for
notifying the Administrative Court that an appellant in an asylum and
immigration appeal wishes his appeal to continue in circumstances in which it
would otherwise be treated as abandoned, in accordance with section 9 of the
Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. Other minor amendments clarify
procedure and update references to the Immigration Appeal Tribunal.
PD5B (and subsequently PD52
15.1B) is amended to make provision for an online forms service in the
civil appeals office.
PD23B is moved to PD23C, and
is amended to further facilitate the telephone hearings scheme.
A new PD23B is created to incorporate
scheduled rules on applications pursuant to miscellaneous statutes into the
CPR. RSC O.93 r 1, RSC O.112 and CCR O.47 are also
revoked as a consequence.
PD55 is amended to provide a procedure
for and formalise the making of ‘postponed possession orders’ along
the lines suggested by the Court of Appeal in its recent judgment in
Hassan.
A new PD on Proceedings Under Enactments
Relating to Discrimination is created. This replaces previous scheduled
rules on this subject. CCR O.49 r 17 is also revoked as a
consequence.
A new PD on Applications for a Warrant Under the
Enterprise Act 2002 is created.
A new Pre-Action Protocol for Claims Based on
Rent Arrears is created.
