Civil Procedure Rules

Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) are a set of regulations that govern how civil legal cases are conducted in England and Wales. They outline the processes for filing claims, exchanging information, and conducting trials in civil matters, such as disputes between individuals or businesses. The rules aim to make the legal system fair, efficient, and accessible, ensuring that cases are handled consistently. CPR encourages parties to resolve disputes amicably and provides guidelines for court procedures, from the initial claim to potential appeals, helping to streamline the judicial process and reduce delays.
