Practice Notice by the Senior Costs Judge

Following the amendments to PD51O of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (The Electronic Working Pilot Scheme), which come into effect on 7 October 2019, the Senior Courts Costs Office (the Costs Office) is now using the CE-File electronic court file.

Court users are able to file documents electronically direct to the court file by logging onto e-File (external link, opens in a new tab).

Further practical guidance for users of CE-File (external link, opens in a new tab) can be found on GOV.UK.

Please read the full details in the Practice Note attached below.
