The Court Associate will be responsible for any exhibits produced as evidence during the trial. After the trial, the exhibits are the responsibility of the party who produced them. Where a number of physical exhibits are involved, it is desirable, if possible, for the parties to agree a system of labelling and the manner of display, beforehand. The Associate will normally draw the Judgment or order made at the trial. At a jury trial, it is the parties responsibility to provide sufficient bundles of documents for the use of the jury.
Facilities are available to assist parties or witnesses with special needs.
The Listing Office should be notified of any needs or requirements prior to the trial. Rule 40.2 contains the standard requirements of a judgment or order and Rule 40.3 contains provisions about drawing them up, see also paragraph 1 of the Part 40B Practice Direction for more information. Other types of consent order require an application to be made to a Master or Judge for approval. It is common for a respondent to a consent order not to attend the hearing but to provide a written consent. The consent may either be written on the document or contained in a letter, and must be signed by the respondent, or where there are solicitors on record as acting for him, by his solicitors.
