What does Track mean? In civil litigation, a track is the procedural route the court uses to manage a claim proportionately, determining timetable, evidence, trial length and recoverable costs. In England and Wales, “track” is a defined case‑management concept under the Civil Procedure rules (CPR Part 26).

It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each.
