The Civil Procedure Rules (“CPR”) govern just about every aspect of civil litigation, from the moment the letter before action is sent out, through to the trial, appeals, and finally the enforcement of Judgements.

A lot of ink has been spilled over late payment of debts, and I suspect that is due in part to the huge industry that has arisen around the pursuit of said debts. The issue is as follows. Bob agrees to pay Pete to provide a service, Pete provides that service and then Bob doesn't pay for it.

Clearly the news that Sam Allardyce has ceased to be England manager after just one game ought not to be a matter for rejoice; it is quite embarrassing for the FA and our national game.

So the last post was part one of this series on dispute resolution. I looked at the various means of resolving a dispute where the parties retain control themselves.
