Civil Procedure CPR: 3. Interim Applications & Remedies

What this covers: How the exam expects you to choose and run an interim route: strike-out, summary judgment, amendments, Part 20, interim payments, injunctions, and security for costs—plus evidence, skeletons, orders, and costs.

By the end you can (for the exam):

• Pick the correct interim route and state the test: 3.4 (strike-out), 24.2 (summary judgment), 17 (amendments), Part 20 (additional claims), 25.7 (interim payments), American Cyanamid (injunction), and security for costs criteria.

• Identify whether to proceed with or without notice, and set out the duty of full and frank disclosure and typical return-date order.

• Specify the evidence needed (witness statement exhibits/statement of truth) and what the draft order should contain for that remedy.

• Give the likely judicial outcome (grant/refuse/adjourn with directions) and who pays costs on the usual bases for each application.

• Handle urgent timetable questions (service of application, time for evidence and skeletons) with correct rule references.

• Produce a tight exam mini-skeleton: issue, rule/test, application of facts, order sought.
