77: Pre-Trial Process for Civil Claims (Monologue)

🗒️ About this episode: This episode is available as a video and podcast. It looks at the pre-trial civil procedure including:

• How a defendant can respond to a claim
• Track allocation of a civil claim
• Rules on disclosure

(*CORRECTION*: In the podcast I mention that both parties file a trial bundle. However, this was a mistake. Only the claimant files a trial bundle, not both parties).

In your country, how long do parties have to wait from the issue of the claim to the final trial date?  Email me your answers, leave a comment below, or on YouTube or social media!
