RIP
The Civil Courts (Amendment) Order 2011 (SI 2011/1465) kills off 23 county courts and sets three execution dates over the next month. Goodbye to Cheltenham, Goole, Harlow, Hitchin, Huntingdon, Leigh, Lowestoft, Newbury, Penzance, Poole and Whitehaven on 4 July 2011; Ashford, Bishop Auckland, Consett, Epsom and Haywards Heath on 18 July 2011; Abedare, Northwich, Penrith, Pontypool, Runcorn and Southport on 1 August; and Salford on 8 August. West Cumbria county court is established in place of Whitehaven and took over all its patches on 4 July 2011. A direction on behalf of the Lord Chancellor (at www.justice.gov.uk/publications/bills-and-acts) lists which survivors take on which of the dead courts’ patches and is an essential reference for all jurisdictional work.
