NLJ this week: All about the intermediate track

149334
What do you know about the intermediate track (recently added to the small claims, fast and multi tracks)? In this week’s NLJ, Tricia Hemans and Daniel Black, both barristers at Falcon Chambers, provide a useful, in-depth and practical guide to the intermediate track—complete with handy checklist

Hemans and Black cover the four tracks, looking at questions of complexity and cost. As well as offering valuable practical advice for practitioners on which claims will qualify, they look ahead to potential controversies.

The authors write: ‘Three obvious battles loom, each seeming destined to be repeated at least in the near future. The first is between bands 2 and 3—just what constitutes a “less complex” or “more complex” claim? The term is left undefined with no illustrative examples given.’
