Application for disclosure of information supplied in order to obtain a warrant The procedure for the hearing of an application for access to the information and material used to obtain a search warrant or comparable order, where the investigator wants the court to withhold that information, is governed by Criminal Procedure Rules 2020 (CrimPR 2020), SI 2020/759, rr 5.7鈥5.10. These rules have been amended to codify the decision in Metropolitan Police Commissioner v Bangs, which is analysed in this Practice Note. Does a magistrate have jurisdiction to hear an application? Following Eastenders Cash and Carry v South Western Magistrates Court a magistrate would be correct to adopt the starting point that a claimant was entitled to see the information which persuaded the court to issue a search warrant unless the public interest requires that some or all of the material relied upon should not be disclosed.

In the context of understanding whether or not permission is needed to serve debt proceedings on a company based in Jersey where there is an express jurisdictional clause in the contract submitting to the English courts, could Regulation (EU) 1215/2012, Brussels I (recast) apply? This Q&A considers the relevance of Regulation (EU) 1215/2012, Brussels I (recast) when considering whether permission is required to serve out of the jurisdiction. What is the relevance of Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 (Brussels I (recast)) when considering whether permission is required to serve out of the jurisdiction?

When issuing a claim form (for a debt matter) where the defendant is a company based in Jersey, the court has advised we need to provide a completed Form N510 but they cannot advise which box to tick. How is Jersey classed? Jersey is part of the Channel Islands. The islands are a crown dependency. Form N510 can only be used where permission of the court is not required to serve a claim form out of the jurisdiction. it is therefore important to determine whether the court鈥檚 permission is required to serve the claim form in Jersey. Permission is not required if any of the provisions in CPR 6.33 apply. Where proceedings were issued prior to 31 December 2020 at 11 pm, permission will not be required if the provisions in CPR 6.33(2) apply. These cover proceedings in which: 鈥 the defendant is not a consumer, but is a party to a consumer contract within Article 17 of the Judgments Regulation 鈥 the defendant is an...
