Procedure: Agreements to extend time limits


Re W (Strict Compliance with Court Orders) [2014] EWFC 22 [2015] 1 FLR 1092[2015] 1 FLR 1092

The President

“I repeat what I said in Re W. I emphasise that the parties in cases in the Family Court are not permitted to amend a timetable fixed by the court without the prior approval of the court. I emphasise the obligation on every party, spelt out (as in this case) in the standard form of case management order, to inform the court ‘immediately' in the event of any non-compliance. That obligation is imposed for good reason, though too often, as in the present case, it also is not complied with.”
