CPR 31 request......or not.

25th February 2023, 20:11:PM

I'm helping a friend who has received a court claim. (Private parking issue).
Before a defence was filed (so pre allocation), we wrote to C's solicitor, BW Legal, asking for inspection of various documents.
We offered to pay a reasonable admin fee.
We did not mention CPR 31 at all in the request.
The case has now been allocated to venue & track (SCT).
In their WS, BWL has complained (yes, complained) that CPR 31 requests are not applicable for SCT.
My question is; when does CPR 31 become not applicable?
Will SCT allocation affect pre-allocation events?
Thanks.
