  • The CPR committee has taken the unusual but welcome step of interpreting its own work. It has clarified the costs budgeting amendments (see "Civil way", NLJ, 11 April 2014, p 16) by confirming that claims started before pre-22 April 2014 for plus £2m in the Admiralty and Commercial Courts etc will not be caught by transitional provisions so as to make them subject to budgeting.

  • The county court will enjoy jurisdiction to grant freezing injunctions as from 22 April 2014 under the County Court Remedies Regulations 2014 SI 2014/982 (see "Civil way", NLJ, 21 March 2014, p 18). The lack of jurisdiction continues for search orders.

  • The rise in the High Court threshold for non-personal injury claims to £100,000 (seeCivil way,"Civil way", NLJ, 14 March 2014, p 17) is established by the High Court and County Court Jurisdiction (Amendment) Order 2014 (SI 2014/821).

  • A raft of new and amended forms has been published including request for a writ or warrant of control
