Legal Terms – Case Management
Case management refers to the process of coordinating and overseeing the various aspects of a case, such as gathering information, making decisions, and implementing actions, in order to achieve specific goals and The *Civil framework Rules (CPR) were implemented in 1999 to establish the framework for managing civil cases. In this system, the judge assumes the role of the case manager. Each case is assigned to one of three tracks based on the dispute's worth and the case's complexity: the small claims track, rapid track, or multi-track. The judge actively oversees each case according to a schedule specified by the court. The judge's goals are to promote and facilitate cooperation between the parties, identify the areas of disagreement, and encourage a resolution. The court has the authority to oversee and regulate the advancement of a legal proceeding and can even dismiss or invalidate it. When evaluating the advantages of a specific method of hearing, it is possible to employ several procedural mechanisms to ensure compliance with CPR pre-action protocols and/or Practice Directions. These mechanisms include imposing financial penalties and denying requests for deadline extensions.
Starting on April 1, 2013, the court's case management regime now includes a clear component of costs management. Both parties must submit an expenses budget at an early stage of the proceedings.

Parties are strongly encouraged to reach mutual agreement on these budgets wherever feasible. The court has the authority to issue a costs management order at any point, which will then regulate the parties' budgets for recoverable costs. A expenses capping order might be issued against any or all of the parties involved.
