ABSTRACT

The availability of such Electronic Track Data can greatly aid the quick and efficient disposal of disputes over liability for the collision. Electronic Track Data will almost certainly be of great importance in any Collision Claim in which liability might be in dispute. A party to an anticipated Collision Claim should therefore take all reasonable steps promptly to preserve and/or procure the original and/or copies of any Electronic Track Data in its control. The Court will seek to adopt such fast track procedures as part of its duty actively to manage cases in accordance with the overriding objective, and will give due consideration to making one or more of the directions listed in PD 61 §4.7. The claimant should apply for a mandatory Case Management Conference within 7 days after the last Collision Statement of Case is filed, which mandatory Case Management Conference will normally take place on the first available date 5 weeks thereafter.
