EFIS 14, March 2004 : Civil Procedure

You must login to download the contents of this EFIS.

The Courts Act 2003 (Commencement No.3 and Transitional Provisions) Order 2004 and the High Court Enforcement Officers Regulations 2004 came into force on 15th March.

These Regulations implement section 99 of the Courts Act 2003, which provides for the enforcement of writs of execution by enforcement officers instead of sheriffs.

The Court Service has therefore amended the above-mentioned forms from 1st April, so practitioners should use these amended forms from the beginning of next month.

In addition, the Court Service has amended the text and notes for guidance on CFO100 and added comprehensive guidance notes on the reverse of N243A_CFO201.

We have also taken the opportunity to make some minor textural amendments on forms N323, N445 and N379.

Practitioners are advised that N255, N255(HC), N256 and N256(HC) have also been amended but will no longer be published by Oyez because N255 and N256 will in future be generated by the Caseman system in the county courts.

Therefore, N255, N255(HC), N256, and N256(HC) should be deleted from your system(s) immediately. Please see deletion instructions below.

Also, please note that form N243A/CFO201 has been renamed to N243A_CFO201. The name change is due to problems experienced by Case Management suppliers who were unable to Automate with the previous version that contained the "/" in the name.

Therefore, N243A/CFO201 should be deleted from your system(s) immediately. Please see deletion instructions below.
