Document delivery methods to parties and to court

[Brbnewbie!]

Hello,

The directions to our SCC case specify that each party must deliver copies of all the documents to which we rely on at the hearing to the other party and the court office by a set date.


I’m trying to find out if delivery must be via post for these documents? But am struggling to find out what methods are acceptable - eg can it be email? Or must it by post?

many thanks.

You can serve by email and/or post so long as party hasn't specifically said by post.

Thank you.

While I hesitate to disagree with a previous reply, I do not think it is right. See PD 6A para 4.1: https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/pr...pd_part06a#4.1

Thanks Atticus

That was exactly what I needed to hear too, but Pezza didn't comment.

It's small claims though so it is right.

Part 27 does not disapply Part 6. That said, I may be mistaken, in which case I know that you will share the authority for that proposition.

4.1 (2)(c)

Oh dear. That needs to be read in conjunction with PD 6A para 4.1. It does not give the general authorisation to serve by email that your post #2 suggests.

PD 6A para 4.1 applies to this question.
