The 180th Practice Direction (PD) update comes into force on 13 February 2025. This update introduces changes to the Damages Claims Pilot (DCP) (CPR PD 51ZB) and the Online Civil Money Claims Pilot (OCMC) (CPR PD 51R). Under the revised CPR PD 51ZB, HMCTS legal advisers are now authorised to consider and decide on digital applications made through the DCP where all parties have legal representation.
