Multi-track
Disputes & Litigation

The multi-track is the normal track for claims not falling within the rules for allocation to either the small claims or fast track. Typically these will be cases involving claims exceeding £15,000, and cases worth less than that sum where the trial is likely to exceed a day.

The multi-track includes an enormously wide range of cases, from the fairly straightforward to the most complex and weighty matters involving claims for millions of pounds and multi-party claims.

When the matter is allocated to the multi-track, the court will either:

• give directions for the management of the case and set a timetable for the steps to be taken between the giving of directions and the trial; or
• fix a case management conference, or a pre-trial review or both and give such directions relating to the management of the case as the court sees fit.
