    they also trialing a new money claim system based on the the .gov website
    Yes, the Online Civil Money Claims (OCMC) pilot. It's designed for people to issue their own claims, and write a whole load of irrelevant garbage in the first person - I did this, he did that, and so on. The claims are recognisable by the format of the claim number, which is like 111MC999.

    It is hated by legal professionals and Judges, and often results in an Order to re-plead the claim in a format compliant with CPR 16.4. The Govt. are trying to make justice more accessible, but all this does is lead people into a minefield of hitherto unsuspected legal traps.


    The MCOL system is in need of an overhaul.  For example, makes much more sense to do allocation questionnaire at the time of the defence/claim form  In fact the part 8 procedure makes a lot more sense overhaul (Everything served upfront - no messing around)

    Does it matter what the rules are when the application and adherence is so hap hazard ?
    Good point
    But the system could be a lot more user friendly and easy to follow.  It really is quite "old hat".  If you want people to have access to justice you need to provide a system that is user friendly and easy to follow.
