Contempt of court applications have been overhauled by the new CPR Pt 81.
Charles Kimmins QC & Andrew Dinsmore, both of Twenty Essex Chambers, provide an overview of the changes, in this week’s NLJ.
They write that it’s ‘a welcome change in simplifying the procedure for bringing a contempt application’, which will ‘reduce the time required and costs involved’. However, they highlight five points that merit particular attention, including that the new rules reduce the instances where a party requires the court’s permission to bring a contempt application.
