ARCHIVED: NOTE: SAVE FOR WHERE A defence HAS BEEN RECEIVED BEFORE 1 APRIL 2013, THIS PRACTICE NOTE IS FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES ONLY. For guidance on the current provisions, see Practice Notes: Directions questionnaires and Case management—allocation—the different case management tracks.

Changes since 1 April 2013

Since 1 April 2013 allocation questionnaires have been replaced with directions questionnaires where 'a defence is received' on or after 1 April 2013. What is not clear is:

  1. •

    whether 'received' means by the court rather than by the other parties and/or

  2. •

    whether 'a defence' means that, in the case of multi-defendants, the new provisions will apply where any of the defendants files its defence on or after 1 April 2013, even if any of the other defendants have filed theirs before then

If you now have to deal with directions questionnaires rather than allocation questionnaires see Practice Notes: Directions questionnaires and Case management—allocation—the different case management tracks.
