High Court Personal Injury List
Litigation
01/04/1993
A serious problem has arisen as a consequence of settled cases not being promptly removed from the list.
Practitioners are earnestly requested, when all matters relating to cases in the High Court Personal Injury List have been resolved, to:-
- obtain from the defendant's solicitor a letter addressed to The Chief Registrar, Central Office, which identifies the case, record number and list number, confirming that all matters relating to this case have been settled and consenting to the case being taken out of the list,
- arrange for the plaintiff's solicitor to lodge the letter of the defendant's solicitor, together with a similar letter of his own, in the Central Office.
It should be noted that the obligation to ensure that the case is taken out of the list is the responsibility of the plaintiff's solicitor.
