• A page is one side, so 50 pages equals 25 pieces of paper printed on both sides.
• Do not use more than one email to take any step in a case which requires a document or
documents to be filed.
DOCUMENTS FOR HEARINGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH
CIVIL PROCEDURE RULES PD, 5B.2. FAMILY PROCEDURE RULE PD 5B
You have received an order to attend court for a hearing.
It would greatly assist the court staff if you could ensure documents you file into court have a
hearing date endorsed on the covering letter, paperwork, or email.
This will then enable the court staff to identify the document is placed on file in readiness for
the hearing.
Please note, if the court is unaware of the pending hearing, when you file your documents,
this may result in the document not reaching the court file in time for the hearing.
Can processes that carry a fee be sent by email?
In both Civil and Family cases court processes that carry a fee can also be received by email
and processed by court staff. However the same conditions as above must apply and in
addition the party issuing the process must either quote a Fee Account number, or the party
who wants to pay has a valid credit or debit card. If you wish to pay using this method, please
say this on the
500,
email and include a contact number for the Court to contact you to take payment.
What is Fee Account?
This is a Direct Debit function that is quick, safe, and easy to use. It is available for solicitors
and large organisations. Once you have set up an account all you need is to provide your fee
account number within the body of the email. The fee will then be deducted from your
account. For more information and to apply for Fee Account please visit
www.justice.gov.uk/courts/fees/payment-by-account.
Any document submitted that breaches any of the above terms will remain unprocessed. This
is in line with Court Practice Directions 5BPD.1 - 5BPD.9.3.
When you email the court the subject line of your mail must contain (in the following
order): -
• The claim numbers
• The title of the claim (abbreviated if necessary) **
• The subject matter (e.g. defence)
• If relating to a hearing the date and time of hearing in bold black
• The judge’s name, where the correspondence/document is for their attention
**If your email is in relation to a family matter, please refer to the initials only.
Your message should also contain the name, telephone number and email address of the
sender. Correspondence and documents may be sent as either text or attachments. Where
there is a practice form, it must be sent in that form by attachment. The complete email
(including any attachment(s)) must not exceed 10Mb.
The rest of this automated message provides information that customers often find useful.
