Limbering up for the single County Court

THE ONE SHOW: SECOND EDITION

We continue with the new County Court, opening for business on 22 April 2014. We started last week.

Lingo In the CPR, circuit judge becomes Circuit Judge and district judge becomes District Judge (though this will probably not help with the pension) and judge sticks at judge; the defendant’s home court becomes the hearing centre serving the address at which they reside or carry on business; the preferred court becomes the preferred hearing centre (being the hearing centre the claimant has specified in the claim form N1 as the hearing centre to which the proceedings should be transferred, if necessary); and, as previously noted, cases will be sent from one hearing centre to another and only transferred when judicially directed.

Truth postponed It has now been announced that the amended costs budget in form H with which we titillated you last week will not come in until 22 April 2014. Shame.
