Questions about this procedure
When must an interim charging-order bundle be served before a hearing?
Can the interim order date anchor the hearing-route service deadline?
No. Paragraph (5) measures at least twenty-one days before the hearing. The order-date-forward branch is paragraph (1).
CPR 73.7(1), (5)Does transfer out of CNBC always leave the original paper-track service rule unchanged?
Paragraph (5) specifically includes transfer under rule 73.4(6) for a hearing. Establish the actual transfer and directions.
CPR 73.7(5); 73.4(6)Must supporting documents accompany the interim order before hearing?
Yes. Paragraph (5) includes the application notice and documents filed in support, not just the order.
CPR 73.7(5)Can the creditor produce the service certificate at the hearing?
Paragraph (6) permits that alternative, or filing each certificate at least two days before the hearing.
CPR 73.7(6)Does service outside the jurisdiction always require permission under this rule?
Paragraph (8) says permission is not required for the service required by paragraphs (1) or (5) on a person outside the jurisdiction. The actual authorized method still matters.
CPR 73.7(8)Does the hearing route change who must receive the charging-order bundle?
Paragraph (7) identifies the applicable recipients for both service branches. Retain the actual asset, co-owner and other recipient facts.
