The Pre-Trial Review Outstanding Directions in relation to the Technology and Construction Court

[rtbs name=”technology-and-construction-court”]It can sometimes be the case that there are still outstanding interlocutory steps to be taken at the time of the Pre-trial Review. That will usually mean that one, or more, of the parties has not complied with an earlier direction of the court. In that event, the Technology and Construction Court is likely to require prompt compliance, and may make costs orders to reflect the delays. Sometimes a party will wish to make an application to be heard at the same time as the Pre-trial Review. Such a practice is unsatisfactory, because it uses up time allocated for the Pre-trial Review, and it gives rise to potential uncertainty close to the trial date. It is always better for a party, if it possibly can, to make all necessary applications well in advance of the Pre-trial Review. If that is not practicable, the Technology and Construction Court should be asked to allocate additional time for the Pre-trial Review, in order to accommodate specific applications. If additional time is not available, such applications will not generally be entertained.
