Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

A party who wishes to file a witness statement for use at final hearing, but is unable to do so, may apply, without notice, to be permitted to file a witness summary instead.

(2)

A witness summary is a summary of—

(a)

the evidence, if known, which would otherwise be included in a witness statement; or

(b)

if the evidence is not known, the matters about which the party filing the witness summary proposes to question the witness.

(3)

Unless the court directs otherwise, a witness summary must include the name and address of the intended witness.

(4)

Unless the court directs otherwise, a witness summary must be filed within the period in which a witness statement would have had to be filed.

(5)

Where a party files a witness summary, so far as practicable, rules 96(3)(a) (amplifying witness statements) and 99 (service of witness statements for use at a final hearing) shall apply to the summary.
