It also addresses the registration process itself and how to obtain the necessary documents under CPR 74 and CPR PD 74A, including the evidence required for such applications and the form those documents take. For general guidance when enforcing an English court judgment outside the jurisdiction, see Practice Note: Cross-border enforcement of English judgments—principles.

Mediation has become increasingly prevalent as a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in the UK since the Access to Justice Report. It is consistently promoted by the courts as part of the overriding objective under CPR 1.4(2)(e). The courts also now hold explicit powers to direct parties to ADR under CPR 3.1(2)(m), and parties are required to consider it under the Practice Direction – Pre-Action Conduct and Protocols. This is further reflected in the Chancery Guide, para 10.1. While the Civil Procedure Rules do not provide a specific pre-action protocol for probate and trust disputes, the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists has issued a Code to support practitioners. It states at 2.18 that parties should at all times evaluate whether ADR is suitable and note that the court may now order participation in ADR. ADR takes various forms, including: Mediation Early neutral evaluation (court-based and private) Financial dispute resolution (court-based and private) Expert determination Arbitration Not...

This note offers general guidance about financial disclosure. Your family lawyer will be able to give specific advice tailored to your circumstances. What is financial disclosure? Financial disclosure means providing your spouse or partner, and the court, with complete information about your personal financial position together with your anticipated needs and resources. It is ordinarily the first step your family lawyer will ask you to take, because they cannot advise you properly on the likely outcome of your matter without a clear understanding of where both you and your spouse/partner stand financially. In financial cases, transparency is crucial whatever route you choose to reach an agreement, whether inside or outside the court system. If you commence court proceedings, the court will require both you and your spouse/partner to complete a detailed financial statement (a form known as Form E) before the first hearing. In out-of-court options such as mediation, collaborative law or arbitration, you will usually be asked to use a similar form or document. Why is...

Such works may fall under section 105(1)(b) of the HGCRA 1996 Such works may fall within section 105(1)(b), which treats road maintenance as a construction operation covering the construction, alteration, repair, maintenance, extension, demolition or dismantling of works forming, or to form, part of land, including walls, roadworks, power lines, electronic communications apparatus, runways, docks, harbours, railways, inland waterways, pipelines, reservoirs, water mains, wells, sewers, industrial plant, and installations for land drainage, coast protection or defence. Alternatively, section 105(1)(e) catches operations integral to, preparatory for, or rendering complete those works, including site clearance, earth-moving, excavation, tunnelling, laying foundations, erecting, maintaining or dismantling scaffolding, site restoration, landscaping, and providing roadways and other access. No specific authority concerns these works, yet courts have often held that less orthodox activities are construction operations, for example: Baldwins Industrial Services plc v Barr: crane with driver hire held integral, preparatory to, or completing works under sections 105(1)(a) and (e). Some contracts are excluded from being a ‘construction...

The Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 (EPC Regulations), SI 2012/3118 The Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 (EPC Regulations), SI 2012/3118 have applied since 9 January 2013. They place specific duties on owners of buildings they plan to sell or let to third parties. They implement Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council dated 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings. It is useful first to consider what is meant by a building under the EPC Regulations, SI 2012/3118. Under reg 2(1), a building is a roofed structure with walls where energy is used to regulate the indoor climate, and this will generally also cover a building unit within that building. The same regulation provides that a building unit is a section, storey or apartment within a building designed or adapted for separate use. It follows that the term extends to any building fitted with some form of heating or air-cooling plant that consumes energy. In addition,...
