Civil / County Court Bundle Software

A civil trial bundle is the agreed set of documents the court and the parties use at trial. Under CPR Part 39 and Practice Direction 39A it should contain the statements of case, case summary and chronology, orders and directions, witness statements, any expert evidence, the key disclosed documents and the skeleton arguments. BundleCreator organises these into sections with a hyperlinked index and continuous pagination.

Under CPR 39.5 the claimant must file the trial bundle not more than 7 days and not less than 3 days before the start of the trial, unless the court orders otherwise. Prepare it in good time so it can be agreed with the other side before filing.

Yes. Discrimination in the provision of services and public functions, in the disposal or management of premises, and by associations is heard in the County Court under section 114 of the Equality Act 2010. Such claims must generally be brought within 6 months of the act complained of (section 118), subject to the court's discretion to extend. Employment discrimination is different — it is brought in the Employment Tribunal, and disability discrimination in schools is heard by the SEND Tribunal.

They serve opposite purposes. A Case & Costs Management Conference bundle is forward-looking — it contains directions, disclosure proposals and costs budgets, and helps the court plan how the case will be run. It contains no witness or expert evidence. A trial bundle is the evidence for the hearing itself. BundleCreator keeps them as separate templates so the two are not confused.

Allocation depends on value and complexity: small claims up to £10,000 (use the Small Claims template), fast track £10,000–£25,000, intermediate track £25,000–£100,000, and multi-track above £100,000 or where the case is complex. The Civil / County Court templates are aimed at fast, intermediate and multi-track claims.
