Ever wondered what happens at Civil Procedure Rule Committee (CPRC) meetings? Now’s your chance to find out. 

The CPRC, which makes the rules for the Court of Appeal, High Court and county court, will hold its annual open meeting on 9 May, via Microsoft Teams. Guests are invited as observers only and will not be able to contribute to discussions. At the end of the meeting, they can ask pre-submitted questions to the committee.

As space is limited, everyone who wishes to attend must complete a short application form (available here), to be submitted to CPRC@justice.gov.uk by 4pm on 7 April.
