Mr Justice Warby is consulting practitioners and other court users in the media and communications field on a small number of procedural questions. These include enquiring whether practitioners would find it helpful to form a Court Users’ Committee or hold a Court Users meeting.

The intention is to publish the results of the consultation and to consider whether any action is required in the light of the responses and any other relevant considerations.

If any changes to the Civil Procedure Rules or Practice Directions are proposed, it will be for the Civil Procedure Rule Committee to consider whether, and if so how, they are to be taken forward. The closing date is 31 May 2017. To access the consultation, click here.
