Directions questionnaires and Case management

Each party is required to identify the number of witnesses they intend to call at the trial including, if appropriate, themselves on their directions questionnaire (see section D3 of Form N180 for Small claims track and section F of Form N181 for fast-track and Multi-track claims). See also the Practice Notes: Directions questionnaires and Witness evidence—the mechanics of giving evidence at trial.

In the event that a party does not consider that witness evidence is required, the court will reflect this in the directions order. For examples of draft direction orders, see Precedents: Small claims track standard directions, Case management—Ministry of Justice standard directions and model paragraphs or Fast track standard directions—position before 1 October 2023, as appropriate.
