Are directions the answers given on the directions questionnaire?

Are directions the answers given on the directions questionnaire?

No, the Judge looks at the Directions Questionnaire you fill in and send to the Court, then the Court issues Orders for both parties to follow.

[Lodgical]

But the Notice states that you must
a) complete the Directions Questionnaire
b) attempt to agree directions with other parties
c) file proposed directions

What do b and c mean?

[echat11]

The way the Directions Questionnaires form is set out, there isn't too much input you or the other party can have.

You fill in the DQ set out the Directions you want the Court to make, send a copy to the other party. The other party does the same, if there are any conflicts i.e. location etc, then the Court will come back to you. Make sure to send the Court a copy.

It depends what track you are in on what needs to happen, with N180 B and C are redundant because of the nature of the small claims track.

In the Multi or Fast tracks the process is slightly different and parties (usually representatives) should agree directions and file them to allow court officers to make orders of their own volition, which means judges have more time in not having to deal with an admin issue unless the directions are particularly complicated.

Can i ask a question, please

[atticus]

Franko123 Yes, but please start your own new thread.

I put my sons name down on the deed when buying my house in 1985 I think its like I put Tom J Jones instead of J Tom Jones (Not the real names of course) but in that order,. I was thinking what would happen now in on in years and If I was to sell or worse, what should I do to correct this my son was
only 9 at the time.....is there some easy way to do it without causing WW3...thanks

[atticus]

Your son is now 48. He can sign the appropriate documents to achieve whatever your objective may be.

If that is not a sufficient detail, please explain the situation and problem in more detail.

How this relates to the Civil Procedure Rules is not at all clear.
