Search Orders

SC GEN 13

This Practice Note was issued on 16 June 2010 and commences from 1 July 2010.

Application

This Practice Note applies to the Court of Appeal and to the Common Law and the Equity Divisions of the Supreme Court.

Introduction

This Practice Note addresses (among other things) the Court’s usual practice relating to the making of a search order and the usual terms of such an order. While a standard practice has benefits, this Practice Note and the example form of order annexed to it do not, and cannot, limit the judicial discretion to make such order as is appropriate in the circumstances of the particular case.
