Depending on the court in which your matter is proceeding, you may also need to be mindful of additional provisions—see: Court specific guidance.

This Checklist sets out a broad overview of some of the case management issues to be considered and addressed early in proceedings and before any CMC is held. It is not a definitive list and you will need to consider each of the issues in more detail as relevant to the facts of the specific case. The approach taken by the court to managing the claim will also differ depending on the court in which the claim is proceeding and you will need to consider the specifics of case management in the particular court, including the guidance given in that court’s guide. For more information, see: Court specific case management—overview and Practice Note: Court guides and other guidance.
