Civil Procedure Rule Committee

The statutory body responsible for making the Civil Procedure Rules, which govern practice and procedure in the civil courts of England and Wales. The committee includes judges, barristers, solicitors, and lay members, and is chaired by the Master of the Rolls.

In practice

The Civil Procedure Rule Committee makes the rules that govern how enforcement applications are made, including Part 70 (General Rules about Enforcement), Part 73 (Charging Orders), Part 83 (Writs and Warrants), Part 84 (Enforcement by Taking Control of Goods), and Part 72 (Third Party Debt Orders). Amendments to the CPR directly affect enforcement practice and procedure.
