After a party has made an application requesting a hearing, the court will notify the applicant of the time and place for the hearing. It is then important to determine the timetable of events prior to the hearing itself, such as when to file and serve the relevant documents. Different provisions will apply depending on the court in which the application is being heard and it is therefore important to consider not just the CPR provisions, but also the guidance set out in the applicable court guide.
There are also a number of practical considerations during the hearing.
For further guidance, see Practice Notes:
