CMCs are becoming more streamlined.
I am sure this trend has been felt by litigants all around the country, but no more so than in Birmingham where His Honour Judge Simon Brown QC has published a new CMC notice, Case Management Conference Notice HHJ Simon Brown QC July 2013.
The notice will be familiar to practitioners in Birmingham (as well as Bristol and, possibly, elsewhere too) and contains hyperlinks to the key forms the judge expects litigants to use to encourage judicial e-working in the Birmingham Mercantile Court.
E trials are part of the mix in Birmingham now. It is not just summer that has arrived!
