Personal numbering meaning

This Practice Note looks at the insurance provisions in the main forms of JCT contract. It examines the Contractor’s liabilities and insurance obligations under the JCT Design and Build Contract (DB) 2024 and the JCT Standard Building Contract (SBC) 2024. Where clause numbering differs between the two forms, this Practice Note draws attention to it; otherwise, clause references apply to both DB and SBC. The 2024 and 2016 editions made adjustments to the insurance provisions compared with the 2011 editions, including updates to professional indemnity insurance in the 2024 version and, in 2016, relocating much of the text from Schedule 3 into the main conditions and introducing the C.1 Replacement Schedule, see Practice Note: JCT contracts 2016—what's changed? [Archived] and News Analysis: The JCT Design and Build Contract 2024—what’s changed? For how insurance and risks are addressed in the NEC3/NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract, see Practice Note: NEC contracts—insurance. For FIDIC contracts, see Practice Notes: FIDIC contracts 2017—insurance and FIDIC contracts (pre-2017 editions)—insurance. This Practice Note considers the JCT...

This Practice Note examines CPR 14, addressing admissions, and specifically CPR 14.3, which relates to admissions arising under the Pre-Action Protocol for Low Value Personal Injury Claims in Road Traffic Accidents (the RTA Protocol), the Pre-Action Protocol for Low Value Personal Injury (Employers’ Liability and Public Liability) Claims (the EL/PL Protocol) or the Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims Below the Small Claims Limit in Road Traffic Accidents (the RTA Small Claims Protocol). Historic versions of CPR 14 and CPR PD 14 The CPR rules concerning admissions were updated with effect from 1 October 2023. In particular, CPR 14 was overhauled significantly and Practice Direction 14 was removed. Judgments issued before these amendments took effect on 1 October 2023 may therefore refer to earlier provisions and numbering, and should be read with appropriate caution in view of the revisions introduced, since the landscape has changed materially...

Dental notes A frequent stumbling block for lawyers handling dental negligence matters is the language and nomenclature found in the records. The presentation of notes has altered over the years and continues to develop. Paper records Up to around 2000, only a small number of practices kept computerised files. The vast majority of clinicians documented care on NHS‑derived standardised buff cards (FP25). Unsurprisingly, handwriting was often poor, and specialist terms compounded the challenge of interpretation. The buff shade significantly hampers photocopying. Where entries prove illegible, practitioners should return to the practice to obtain clearer, legible reproductions, using a colour copier if required. Lost or misplaced cards were not unusual, and often a second set of notes might exist. Many practices wrote the card number at the head of the FP25, and continuity across the sequence ought to be verified. At times, neither the solicitor nor the expert can reliably discern the content. In that event, it is proper for a claimant solicitor to seek clarification from the...
