The Case Management Conference (“CMC”) on 18 March 2025
On 18 March 2025 a CMC took place before Master Dagnall. None of the Defendants attended.
Under CPR 8.4(2), if a Defendant does not file an A of S within the necessary timescale, they may attend the hearing of the claim but may not take part in the hearing unless the court gives permission. Master Dagnall’s order made after the CMC reflected this. He also directed that the Defendants could not file any evidence without the permission of the court.
None of the Defendants applied to file any evidence pursuant to the Master’s order.
