    You may apply under CPR 20.4: https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/pr...l/rules/part20
    Lawyer (solicitor) - retired from practice, now supervising solicitor in a university law clinic. I do not advise by private message.

        Apply using form N244: https://www.gov.uk/government/public...ication-notice

        You only need to send a copy to the court. When the court has issued the application it will send a copy to the other party.

        You should download and read the Judiciary's handbook for LiPs - link in my signature (below).

          The format is very set as on the form. You just answer the questions on the box. For the one on evidence in support you should write a POC in the box below (you will see on the form it says box below - make sure to tick that option) as if you were making the claim as a standalone
