The Civil Courts (Amendment) Order 2011

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Civil Courts Order 1983. The county courts listed in the Schedule to this Order are discontinued.

A new county court is to be held at Workington, named West Cumbria County Court.

Jurisdiction in respect of existing cases in closing courts is transferred to named courts. Where the district of a closing court is redistributed to more than one court, directions made by the Lord Chancellor, which will be available at http://www.justice.gov.uk/publications/bills-and-acts/index.htm, indicate the new districts.

This Order corrects references to closed courts that should have been removed previously.
