Review Your SQE 1 Practice Records

Timing: 00:00:00

Laura, a claimant, has had her claim allocated to the multi-track and the court has fixed a date for a case management conference (CMC). Solicitors representing both Laura and the defendant, Andrew, have agreed on most issues but cannot agree on the scope and timing of disclosure of documents. Which of the following statements best reflects the likely approach of the court during the CMC?

Under the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR), if parties cannot reach an agreement on an appropriate set of directions, they must submit their own proposals to the court no later than seven days before the CMC. The court will then consider the competing arguments and make a decision on the most appropriate way forward. The court would not adjourn the CMC, as this would cause unnecessary delay (making Options A and B incorrect), nor would it decide on the agreed directions and schedule a further CMC for those not agreed (making Option C incorrect). If the order needs to be amended, either party can apply to the court, making Option E incorrect. 


Key Point: The court aims to resolve disputes efficiently and will make necessary orders during the CMC to avoid delays. Parties are required to submit proposals if they cannot agree, and the court will decide based on these submissions.
