Practice Direction: Court Bundles

The president of the Family Division issued a Practice Direction – Family Proceedings: Court Bundles (Universal practice to be applied in all courts other than the Family Proceedings Court) – on 27 July 2006 which came into effect on 2 October. It aims to achieve consistency across the country in all family courts (other than the family proceedings court) in the preparation of court bundles and in respect of other related matters. It is twice as long and more detailed than President’s Direction (Family Proceedings: Court Bundles) [2000] 1 FLR 536 which it replaces. It does not remove or alter any obligation to comply with the requirements of the Public Law Protocol.
