The following points have been raised by members, which the Civil Court Users Association (CCUA) hopes will be of assistance:
“For the most part we agree that the proposed changes are sensible as it will limit the disclosure process and save costs (particularly in large complex cases).”
“We do definitely agree with the more limited disclosure that the proposed changes would introduce – we do currently seek to limit disclosure where appropriate, but often find that District Judges will not consider the suggestion and will simply fall back on standard disclosure which often unnecessarily builds costs when limited disclosure would have been sufficient. The proposed scheme would therefore, mean that it would be much more likely that there would be more limited disclosure which would reduce costs.”
