Frequently Asked Questions

How many pages is a typical court bundle?

A typical family court bundle under PD27A should be no more than 350 pages. Financial remedy bundles often run 150–250 pages, while children proceedings can be shorter at 80–150 pages. Employment tribunal bundles vary widely but commonly range from 100 to 500 pages.

What is the maximum bundle size courts accept?

Under Family Court Practice Direction 27A, bundles should not normally exceed 350 pages. For civil proceedings (CPR Part 39), there is no strict page limit, but judges expect bundles to include only relevant documents. Employment tribunals typically expect a single lever-arch file (roughly 300–350 pages) unless agreed otherwise.

How do I reduce my bundle page count?

Include only documents you intend to refer to at the hearing. Remove duplicate correspondence, keep witness statements concise, and agree a core bundle with the other party where possible. BundleCreator’s automatic pagination and indexing helps you organise documents efficiently, so you can focus on trimming content rather than formatting.
