Questions about this procedure
When must CNBC charging-order service certificates be filed?
Does certificate filing run twenty-eight days after serving the debtor?
No. Paragraph (2) uses the interim charging order date. Preserve that order even where service happened later.
CPR 73.7(2)Is one service certificate enough when several persons were served?
The rule requires a certificate in relation to each person served. The filing record must cover the actual recipient set.
CPR 73.7(2)Must the amount statement include costs and interest?
Yes. Paragraph (2) expressly includes costs and interest in the amount due under the judgment or order.
CPR 73.7(2)Does the certificate duty apply identically to the hearing-fixed route?
No. Paragraph (6) supplies the hearing-route certificate alternatives. Paragraph (2) belongs to the paragraph (1) CNBC route.
CPR 73.7(1)–(2), (5)–(6)Can a closed CNBC filing office matter to the final filing date?
CPR 2.8(5) applies to specified acts at the court office ending when that office is closed. Establish actual closure and next opening rather than assuming every filing carries.
CPR 73.7(2); 2.8(5)Does a granted extension excuse failure to meet its new filing date?
Rule 73.10(6B) also addresses a granted extension whose extended limit was not met. Preserve the actual extended date and compliance record.
