Civil Procedure Rules(CPR)
Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) are a set of rules governing the civil justice system in the United Kingdom. They provide a framework for the resolution of disputes between parties, including those involving housing disputes. The rules set out the procedural steps which must be taken in order to bring a case to a fair and just conclusion, including the process of filing claims, exchanging evidence, and presenting arguments in court. The scope of the CPR covers all aspects of residential and commercial property disputes, including possession proceedings, rent arrears, disrepair, and landlord and tenant disputes. The purpose of the CPR is to ensure that disputes are dealt with quickly and efficiently, and that justice is served to all parties involved in the dispute. Additionally, the rules serve to ensure that all parties receive a fair hearing before the court.
