Interim and final injunctions

6 April 2025 changes

The CPR provisions relevant to interim injunctive relief were amended with effect from 6 April 2025. In particular, CPR 25 was revised extensively and the accompanying Practice Directions, including the example draft orders included in Annex A and Annex B of Practice Direction 25A, were revoked. Three new ‘model orders’ also came into force on 6 April 2025.

The changes were not intended to materially alter the substantive law or practice. However, the numbering and location of many of the provisions were changed. Case law and commentary which pre-dates 6 April 2025 should therefore be approached with some caution as they may refer to the old provisions, numbering and standard orders.

For further background, including links to the model orders in force from 6 April 2025, and the provisions as in force prior to 6 April 2025, see:

CPRC launches consultation on electronic service modernisation for CPR 6 and CPR PD 6A

The Civil Procedure Rule Committee (CPRC) has launched a consultation on proposed amendments to the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR), focusing on modernising service of documents. The consultation proposes two key changes to CPR 6 and CPR PD 6A: first, requiring legal representatives who have confirmed their authority to accept service on behalf of a client to accept service by electronic means without needing further consent; and second, removing fax as a primary method of electronic service, reflecting the widespread use of email. The consultation closes on 12 September 2025.
