Annex documents meaning

Published by a LexisNexis Family expert
What does Annex documents mean?
In public law children cases, “annex documents” describes the supporting papers filed with the originating application to evidence the local authority’s case and enable early case management. In England and Wales, it is a procedural term used in the public law outline (PLO): the PLO specifies the Annex Documents to be filed with form c110a (application for a care or supervision order and related orders under Part IV of the Children Act 1989). These typically include, for example, the social work chronology, threshold statement, assessments and the care plan. They are filed and served at issue to front‑load disclosure, inform the first hearing, and support the 26‑week timetable. The expression is not defined in primary legislation or case law; its content and timing are set by the PLO and Family Procedure Rules/Practice Directions. Non‑compliance may lead to directions, costs consequences or delay in listing. Usage differs across the UK and Ireland. In Scotland (Children’s Hearings/court proceedings), Northern Ireland and Ireland (Child Care Act 1991), equivalent materials are filed as productions, exhibits or core documents under local rules and forms, but they are not generally labelled “Annex Documents” nor tied to Form C110A.

Standard Imaging Order under CPR PD 25A (pre-April 2025), England and Wales: origins, drafting, test, execution and disclosure safeguards [Archived]

ARCHIVED This Practice Note is archived. It was derived from a draft imaging order appended to Practice Direction 25A.

The commentary in this Practice Note concerns the construction and application of the relevant CPR provisions. Depending on the court in which your case is heard, additional requirements may apply—see further below.

HMRC information-gathering powers (UK): Schedule 36 FA 2008 notices, FINs, third-party requests, scope and safeguards, FTT approval, appeals and penalties

FORTHCOMING CHANGE: On Tax Administration and Maintenance Day, 27 April 2023, the former Conservative administration issued a call for evidence on refreshing HMRC’s information and data-gathering powers to support the digital overhaul of taxpayer services, strengthen HMRC’s compliance functions, and cut administrative burdens. With a deadline of 20 July 2023, the exercise asked for views on, among other areas: ways to reform and enhance the collection of information and data from third parties, informed by international best practice; scope to modernise HMRC’s third-party information and data-gathering powers and the accompanying safeguards; how to streamline the process by which HMRC issues information notices obliging a taxpayer or third party to supply information, data or documents. At Spring Statement 2025, the government released a summary of responses to that call for evidence as Annex C to the consultation titled ‘Better use of new and improved third-party data to make it easier to pay tax right first time’...
