The Chancery Guide has been updated and provides important practical information about the conduct of litigation in the Chancery Division in the Rolls Building in London
The Chancery Guide provides important practical information about the conduct of litigation in the Chancery Division in the Rolls Building in London. The Guide had become out of date due to the rapid pace of change over the past few years and it became necessary for it to be substantially re-written. This task has taken many months of hard work but is now complete.
Main changes to the Guide relate to:
- Costs management and the other reforms arising from the report (by Jackson LJ)
- The Chancery Modernisation Review conducted (by Briggs LJ)
- Removal of most of the restrictions on the jurisdiction of Chancery Masters
- Recent initiatives including the Financial List, Shorter Trials and Flexible Trials
- The introduction of CE-file and electronic filing.
