(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the High Court and County Courts Jurisdiction Order 1991 so as to provide that—

(1)

where the High Court or a county court is considering whether to transfer proceedings to or from the Central London County Court Business List, it will not be presumed that the action should be tried in the High Court unless the value of the action exceeds £200,000 (article 4);

(2)

judgments given in proceedings arising out of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may only be enforced in a county court, whatever enforcement method is chosen (article 5).
