Article summary

The Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments (JCSI) has published its Eighteenth Report of Session 2024-2025, drawing the special attention of both Houses to The Civil Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2025 and The Naval, Military and Air Forces Etc. (Disablement and Death) Service Pensions (Amendment) Order 2025. The Civil Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2025 required clarification regarding the term ‘nominal claimant’ in security for costs provisions, while the Naval, Military and Air Forces Service Pensions Order 2025 failed to provide access details for historical orders referenced. The Ministry of Justice explained its reliance on case law for interpreting ‘nominal claimant’, while the Ministry of Defence acknowledged difficulties in accessing some historical pension documents.
