4.1
The approach adopted in the CPR
The overriding objective provided for by CPR 1.1, is in the following terms :-
"(1)
These Rules are a new procedural code with the overriding objective of enabling the
court to deal with cases justly.
(2)
Dealing with a case justly includes, so far as is practicable—
(a)
ensuring that the parties are on an equal footing;
(b)
saving expense;
(c)
dealing with the case in ways which are proportionate—
(i)
to the amount of money involved;
(ii)
to the importance of the case;
(iii)
to the complexity of the issues; and
(iv)
to the financial position of each party;
(d)
ensuring that it is dealt with expeditiously and fairly; and
(e)
allotting to it an appropriate share of the court's resources, while taking into
account the need to allot resources to other cases."
