OPPOSED AND STARRED MOTIONS
The procedure for the allocation of opposed and starred motions will now be as follows:
When an opposition to a motion or an automatic starred motion is lodged during term time, the Keeper’s Office will allocate a date for the motion to call a minimum of 2 days ahead. Can all parties please ensure their respective counsel are available prior to the enrolment of any opposed or starred motion.
An email will be sent to parties setting out the proposed date, Judge and clerk. The clerk will then liaise with parties to agree a time for the motion to call. This is to ensure opportunity is provided for representations to be made about the form of the hearing.
