You must login to download the contents of this EFIS.

The Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Young Offenders Act 2012 have changed the name of the Legal Services Commission to the Legal Aid Agency, on 1st April.

The Ministry of Justice has amended existing Civil Procedure forms to reflect this change but in addition has amended other forms to reflect changes in the Civil Procedure Rules.

In particular, N180 and N181 are two new forms which replace existing forms N149, N150 and N151 which the Ministry of Justice will phase out over a period of time.

N461 and N462 have been amended in relation to the Aarhus Convention.

N263 is a new form to disclose documents which will be relied upon in a civil litigation.

FORM H is a new form which firms must complete in relation to new rules concerning cost budgets.

Forms N260_Ext, N149, N150 and N151 has been withdrawn and will be deleted from your system(s).

All these new and amended forms can be used immediately.
