(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the High Court and County Court (Allocation of Arbitration Proceedings) Order 1996 to take account of the implementation of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 on 26th April 1999. The effect of the amendments is:
To delete reference to the Central London County Court Business List as being established under County Court Rules (it is now provided for by practice direction).
To delete the requirement that “value” be construed in accordance with Articles 9 and 10 of the High Court and County Court Jurisdiction Order 1991 (which will be revoked as from 26th April 1999) and substituting a reference to the method of calculating the value of a claim under the Civil Procedure Rules.
