(This note is not part of the Order)
These Rules amend Part 45 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (SI 1998/3132), as amended by the Civil Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2013 (SI 2013/262).
In particular, these Rules amend rule 45.18, which, in Table 6, prescribes the fixed costs which may be recovered by a legally represented claimant in respect of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 procedures under the Pre-Action Protocol for Low Value Personal Injury Claims in Road Traffic Accidents (‘the Protocol'). These Rules substitute the new sums which may be recovered as fixed costs in those cases where, under the Protocol, the claimant's Claim Notification Form is sent to the defendant's insurer on or after 30th April 2013. An earlier typographical error in the same rule has also been corrected.
1997 c.12. Section 2(1) was substituted by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (c.4), section 15 and Schedule 4 Part 1. Section 1(3) was substituted by the Courts Act 2003 (c.39), section 82(1) and further amended by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 sections 15, 146, Schedule 4 Part 1 paragraphs 261 and 262 and Schedule 18, Part 2.
S.I. 1998/3132. There are relevant amendments in the Schedule to S.I. 2013/262.
