Non-party disclosure
Practical Law UK Practice Note 0-511-6868 (Approx. 36 pages)
Non-party disclosure
This note summarises the main methods for a party to obtain documents from a non-party to the proceedings. It focuses on applications for non-party disclosure under CPR 31.17 but also considers other options such as issuing a witness summons under CPR 34.2, requiring a witness to produce documents to the court.
Disclosure in the B&PCs: CPR 31.17 continues to apply for cases subject to PD 57AD ("Disclosure in the Business and Property Courts"). PD 57AD took effect on 1 October 2022, implementing, on a permanent basis, the procedures that applied, from 1 January 2019 until 1 October 2022, under the Disclosure Pilot Scheme (PD 51U).
For details of our content on the approach to disclosure under PD 57AD (and its predecessor, PD 51U), see Disclosure in the B&PCs: toolkit.
