General

There is an interim application for directions or orders made to courts, usually in ‘interim’ duration between the commencement of a proceeding (issuing claims forms) and trials. However, some “interims” remedies can be applied before the start of a proceeding. The claimant, Cornelian Limited and Defendant, Dunbar Holding Limited, ask permission to withdraw admissions as to liabilities made in the defence under r14.4(5). A provisional application is made to help Cornelian Limited and Dunbar Holding Limited pursue their case in court systems. It is often carried out for various reasons, such as security of cost, injunction, and summary judgment. In this case, it was conducted for injunction and summary judgement. For instance, the order sought by the claimant was for judgment on admissions pursuit to r14.3 instead of r24.5 as an alternative summary judgment pursuant. They claimed that the defendant made relevant admission, and they had no real prospects of effectively defending the claims, and there were no compelling reasons to trials. Interims application enhances interim order or direction. An interim order is not determinative (Grieshofer et al, 2021). For instance, orders made by courts before matters are heard at trials, such as the case for the claimant (Cornelian Limited), serve as summary judgment. Also, the main starting point for a procedure for interims application is the issuance of the application, just like it is presented in the N224 Application Notice Form. It is conducted early enough when it becomes clear that it is desirable or necessary to make applications 23A PD2.7. Later on, the application will be covered regarding CMC/PTR 23A PD2.8. There are also diverse reasons in which individuals can consider making interims applications to courts and for purposes of advocacy assessments. One of the main reasons is to extend the duration for undertaking detailed steps in the proceeding. In most instances, CPR 23 of 1998 CPR sets the general rule governing and monitoring all applications to call between the two parties. The regulation is subject to all express provision that applies to a particular application category.

Furthermore, all applications to call are made to courts in which claims are presently being handled or likely to be handled. The claimant (Cornelian Limited) needs the case to be done at the hearing place. However, court systems have the authority to appoint places of hearing. As such, parties wishing to make applications to applicants are the ones who should apply. Their applications should highlight the orders it is supposed to sought to obtain and the main reason (why). All applications to the court systems are made by application notices, in which form N244 is utilized, just as the claimant made them 1 hour to the actual hearing. Parties making applications are known as the applicants who come back, and parties against whom orders are sought are known as respondents (Markus, 2004). Further, applications must be directed to courts with claims that have been commenced or the courses to where claims have been sent to. Any applications done before claim forms have been issued are usually made to courts, and when proceeding will start. However, County courts should be made to any centre dealing with hearing cases, especially the country court hearing centre, unless practices or rules direction provides otherwise. There are instances where an interim application is may be made without a notice if authorized by court orders, CPR, and other valid reasons. In most cases, they are governed by CPRs and CPR 23in relation to a specified type of interim application the parties are making. The main procedure of making an application is applying as early as possible in actions because the idea of Overriding Objective and needs to deal with a case expeditiously. After a w/o hearing, respondents will get copies of orders made by the court. Applicants are also required to serve respondents with applications evidence notice (CPR 239). For instance, the claimant served the defendant with application evidence notice earlier enough. It must contain states of their rights in applying to courts to have the orders set aside, such as CPR 2310.

The applicant is required to prepare application notice forms N244, supporting evidence, draft orders, any exhibits in the W/S such as estimates of cost for SFC, issue fees, a skeleton argument and a bundle of documents. The application notice must contain 233 PD 2.1 that illustrates other requirements such as claim number, claim title, and name or organization’s name. It also highlights how applications will be handled in the hearing process. It must also contain CPR 23.6 that highlight the orders the applicants are seeking and briefly why. On the other hand, the (CPR 25.3(2) supporting evidence should include written evidence that sets out the fact and justify the relief sought unless the court orders otherwise (Markus, 2004). Form of evidence are always issued in different approaches such as in Part C of the application notices, by referring to an existing statement of a case of witnessing statements or affidavit. Further, the bundles of docs have a statement of cases, evidence, previous order, correspondence and authority. They must be prepared in high courts if more than twenty-five pages are involved. There were only a few pages for the case of the defendant and the claimant. Both parties should also agree on the contents of the bundles. Also, the skeleton argument is needed if hearings are before high courts or county courts unless various matters are urgent or very simple. It is usually prepared a day before the main hearing. The skeleton argument was not necessary for both parties (Grieshofer et al, 2021).

Based on the issuance of applications, there are possible solutions after courts issue applications. For instance, the claimant and the defendant were issued and notified of the hearing details if the parties need hearings 23A PD 2.2. They also provide and notify both parties whenever the court proposes to consider applications without hearings 23A PD 23, 2.5 and 2.4. The application procedure is when applicants take or send applications notices and the supporting document, including the fees. The service includes the process when application notices and supporting documentation are served on the o/s. Additionally, the respondent response should include W/S in their reply and CPR 23A PD9. The cost statement must be filed and used if the judge or master summarily assess the cost with reference to 44 PD 9.5. courts often grant the summary judgement without complete trials of the issues.
