In order to ensure that all proceedings receive at least preliminary attention soon after commencement with a view to avoiding undue delay in progressing them towards a hearing, the following practice will be adopted in respect of proceedings commenced after today, notwithstanding any other practice note.
Where proceedings are not otherwise listed before the Court within 6 months of filing of originating process, the plaintiff should within that time either obtain an appointment for hearing under Part 5 rule 4B (where applicable) or apply for directions under Part 26 rule 2, in default of which the Court will of its own motion appoint a date under Part 26 rule 2.
