Priority Score

CPR 23.1 is clear. Each order individually provable.

17 orders granted to defendants or against the Applicant without any CPR 23.1 application notice being filed. Made on court's own initiative or at oral request, without service, and in several instances during MHCM.

Supporting Evidence

Authorities (2)

  • R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, ex parte Doody [1994] 1 AC 531
  • Civil Procedure Rules r.23.9(3)

Exhibits (1)

  • CA-ORD-005 Sealed Order (27 Feb 2025) - Records Complaint Considered

Counter-Arguments & Rebuttals (2)

What the opponent will argue, and why they are wrong.

HMCTS · MEDIUM Risk
They will argue

Courts have inherent jurisdiction to make orders on their own initiative under CPR 3.3.

Rebuttal

CPR 3.3 allows own-initiative orders but requires CPR 3.3(5)(b) notification giving the affected party a right to apply to set aside or vary. 17 orders without any application notice AND without CPR 3.3(5)(b) notification = 17 procedural violations. Doody: natural justice requires opportunity to make representations.

Authorities: AUTH-CASE-042
Rebuttal Confidence 7/10
Defendant · MEDIUM Risk
They will argue

The orders were made at hearings where the applicant was present or had notice.

Rebuttal

Not all 17. Several were made ex parte during MHCM (27 Feb cluster). Others were made at hearings but without application notices being filed or served. CPR 23.1 requires an application notice. Oral requests at hearing without prior notice deprive the other party of time to prepare. The pattern of bypassing CPR 23.1 is itself procedurally improper.

Authorities: AUTH-CASE-006
Rebuttal Confidence 7/10

Ground Dependencies

If This Ground Succeeds
  • AR-2
  • AR-15
  • 17 orders set aside for procedural impropriety. Mandatory order requiring CPR 23.1 compliance. Systemic court practice reviewed.
If This Ground Fails
  • G-A1
  • G-A7
  • G-A13
  • Court finds own-initiative orders were within CPR 3.3 powers. But MHCM orders (G-A1) are void regardless of procedure. Unfairness (G-A7) and cumulative (G-A13) still available.

Fallback: 17 orders without applications is pattern evidence for G-A13 cumulative unfairness even if not independently void.

Independence: Partially dependent on other grounds succeeding.
