The 41st Update to the Civil Procedure Rules introduces changes in a large number of areas.

Rules 6, 55 and 75 are amended to allow parties to use equivalent services as well as first class post for service of documents.
Rule 16 is amended to ensure that, in a claim for a specified sum, a claimant includes interest in the statement of the total sum he wishes to claim on the face of the claim form.

Part 52 and Practice Direction 52 are subject to a number of different and important amendments consequential to a review of that part, including:
A change in wording in 52.3(6) designed to emphasise the court’s discretion in granting permission to appeal. It is intended that this discretion be particularly exercised when the court considers the issue of the proportionality of an appeal; and
The extension of the time limit for applying for permission to appeal from 14 to 21 days, and further amendments designed to emphasise the court's discretion in extending or abridging this time.

Practice Direction 26 is amended to reflect the new form of small claims allocation questionnaire.
Practice Direction 43–48 (Costs Practice Direction) is amended in the following ways:
Section 20 is amended consequential to revocation of the Conditional Fee Agreements Regulations 2000 and the Collective Conditional Fee Agreements Regulations 2000;
Section 21 is amended in line with amendments made by the Community Legal Service (Costs Protection) (Amendment) Regulations 2005-12-16;
Section 32 and Section 57 are amended consequential to revocation of the Conditional Fee Agreements Regulations 2000, the Collective Conditional Fee Agreements Regulations 2000, and the revocation of the Access to Justice (Membership Organisation) Regulations 2005; and
A new Section 49A is added in line with amendments to the Civil Recovery Proceedings Practice Direction (below).
Practice Direction 63 is amended consequential upon Council Directive (EC) 2004/48 on the enforcement of intellectual property rights.
Practice Direction 65 is amended to extend the pilot scheme under section 85 of the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003.
Practice Direction – Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 Parts 5 and 8 : Civil Recovery is subject to numerous amendments in line with recent amendments to the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and the making of regulations under that Act.
