Article 21 Case management hearingsI1
England and Wales
A case management hearing must be arranged by the Tribunal or a clerk in cases where—
a clerk considers that the holding of a case management hearing is justified by reason of the time estimate or revised time estimate provided by the Society under rule 12(3)(b) or 14(3)(b); or
the clerk who reviews the application on receipt identifies issues which in the opinion of the clerk justify the holding of a case management hearing.
A case management hearing may be arranged by the Tribunal or a clerk at any other time before the hearing of an application.
A case management hearing may be heard by the Tribunal or a clerk and may take place by telephone, in person, or by such electronic means as may be approved by the Tribunal.
If the Tribunal notifies the parties in advance of a case management hearing that a further hearing is to be fixed or is likely to be fixed at the case management hearing, the parties must attend the case management hearing equipped with their dates to avoid and the dates to avoid of any witnesses.
