183rd practice direction update—6 April 2025

The Master of the Rolls and the Minister of State for Justice have approved the 183rd PD update to the CPR. The amendments come into force on 6 April 2025. The 183rd PD update introduces CPR PD 51ZG3, a pilot scheme for cost budgeting in High Court qualified one-way costs shifting (QOCS) cases at the District Registries in Manchester and Birmingham. This new PD applies to relevant claims issued on or after 6 April 2025 and before 6 April 2028. It also amends operational dates for CPR PD 51ZG1 and CPR PD 51ZG2, ensuring all three pilot schemes start on the same date (6 April 2025). Additionally, it includes a drafting correction to CPR PD 27B related to personal injury claims below the small claims limit in road traffic accidents.
