COUNTDOWN
Just two more to go and (forgetting the online stuff) the CPR update tally hits 200. Champagne on ice, if you please. The latest update coming in at number 197 will hardly move the earth under the Royal Courts of Justice. It corrects minor drafting errors in number 196 but, more excitingly, clarifies the damages claims pilot that is PD 51ZB. Acolytes will know that the pilot was changed by 195 (see ‘Civil Way’, NLJ, 5 June 2026, p18). Certain non-monetary ‘other remedies’ allied to a damages claim were added to the list of cases that could be dealt with digitally rather than on paper. It was intended that specific performance relief alongside a claim for housing disrepair should be included. But this was not provided for. It now is with an amendment effective 1 October 2026.
