Multitrack list

[scubatony]

Hi there people

 

Does anybody have either a link or information for in which order multitrack documents should be presented in County Court.

 

i.e when oppening the lever arch file, how should it read ?

All that I have found is a very brief two items;

 

First.Court documentation

Second. Evidential bundle

My claim is so much more than that, or am I reading to much into the term "evidential bundle" ?

Questions that I am asking myself

1 Court documentation

1a) Does it relate to everything,

a]Case Management hearing

b]Court Order

c]Notice of Trial Date

d]Allocation to Multi-track

 

2 Evidential bundle

a]A considerable amount of my information is undated, so how do I list that ?

b]Some of my documentation is taken from the public domain, though the date shows that is was taken after the event.

c]Letters between solicitors, do they go in a different section ?

 

Lastly, do I include the skeleton argument before the Court documentation ?

You would normally agree a content,s list with the other party first scub...that's the usual way to paginate.

(2) that documents in the bundle may be treated as evidence of the facts stated in them even if a notice under the Civil Evidence Act 1995 has not been served. Where it is not possible to agree the contents of the bundle, a summary of the points on which the parties are unable to agree should be included.

3.10 The party filing the trial bundle should supply identical bundles to all the parties to the proceedings and for the use of the witnesses.
