I thought CPR 18 is an order via the court?

Yes but before making an application to the court,the party requesting the information should submit the second party with a written request (which is where we are now)

CPR 31?

Is it 'small claims'?

Yes-Small Claims online.I have asked for further information under CPR18 directly to the other party & now want to ask the court for this information as the other party have ignored my request (as they have several letters before proceedings commenced).I wish to now ask the court for this information and am unsure whether there is a form to fill in,a fee to pay or should I just send a letter to the court explaining that I've given the other party reasonable time to co-operate but they've ignored my request.

Strictly speaking, CPR 31 doesn't apply in small claims.

But you can ask for any evidence the other party might hold, & if they are recalcitrant, ask the court to make them produce it.

Thanks for the response & advice.My issue is that I have entered down the CPR 18 route so should continue down this road.I would like to contact the court but am unsure as how to do this (reasons stated in post #5)
