Court of Protection Rules 2017

31/10/2017

 
This SI, which comes into force on 1 December 2017, revokes the Court of Protection Rules 2007 and the amendments made to those rules by the Court of Protection (Amendment) Rules of 2009, 2011, 2015 and 2017 (S.I. 2009/582, S.I. 2011/2753, S.I. 2015/548 and S.I. 2017/187), and replaces them with a consolidated set of rules governing practice and
procedure in the Court of Protection.

The changes contained in this SI, over and above the consolidation of the previous rules, are:
  1. the arrangement of the rules in separate Parts on the model of the Civil, Family and Criminal Procedure Rules;
  2. their arrangement in a different order, which was piloted over 2016-2017 by a practice direction under the 2007 Rules (the Practice Direction – Case Management Pilot), together with the introduction of some new rules in relation to case management and expert evidence which were also piloted in that practice direction; and
  3. the replacement of the rules relating to contempt of court by fuller freestanding rules.
