ABSTRACT
This chapter explores at a first Case Management Conference. Permission to transfer any case from the Commercial Court to a Circuit Commercial Court or vice versa may be granted only by a Judge of the Commercial Court. If a case remains in the Commercial Court but a hearing is more suitably held outside London, the Commercial Court will aim to enable a Commercial Judge to conduct the hearing outside London. Enquiries should be directed to the Senior Listing Officer at the Commercial Court Listing Office. Where appropriate the matter can be discussed between the Judge in Charge of the Commercial Court and the relevant Designated Civil Judge or Circuit Commercial Judge. The Circuit Commercial Court will then receive all the documents which were on the Commercial Court file and they will give the case one of their own numbers and inform the parties.
