If the claimant sustained injury on or after 1 October 2023 any claim, once issued, will be allocated, and where appropriate assigned, in accordance with the current CPR whether that be the small claims track, fast track, intermediate track or multi-track.

Practitioners need to understand the consequences of allocation to each of these tracks, the significance of assignment and the need to plan for where the case may be allocated from the outset.

This webinar will cover:

• The different tracks and the parameters of each for allocation of cases
• Assignment (in the fast track and the intermediate track)
• The costs implications of allocation
• How the court is likely to approach allocation
• Planning for allocation from day one
• The importance of the letter of claim (and the ground to cover)
• Preparing for the allocation hearing
• Dealing with the allocation hearing
