The consultation response
These Proposals stimulated a lively response. The great majority were in favour of
introducing a court-determined timetable better tailored to the individual case.
The
Law Society, however, thought timetabling by the court was a good idea for specialist
lists but questioned whether it would work in "ordinary cases". On the other hand,
some users of specialist lists tended not to favour a timetabling approach, preferring
instead a docket system and procedural autonomy in specialist lists.
One firm
thought, on the basis of anecdote, that the CPR's allocation questionnaire had placed a
serious strain on judicial resources in England and Wales.
Notes
Those in favour included the Bar Association, the BSCPI, the DOJ, certain judges,
the High Court
masters, one set of barristers' chambers, two solicitors' firms and an individual respondent.
The HKMLA in respect of the Commercial and Admiralty Lists and WB/LAD in relation to the
Construction and Arbitration List.
able to opt out of the timetabling.
