The Civil Procedure Rules Committee (CPRC) has approved an update to Practice Direction 51ZB requiring defendants who are legally represented to use the Damages Claims Portal (DCP) for claims within its scope. Whilst the exact wording of the Practice Direction update has yet to be published, it will include a requirement for the defendant’s legal representative to register with MyHMCTS to access the DCP and receive notification of claims. The updated Practice Direction will come into force on 2 June 2022.
