Dispute Resolution
An electronics manufacturer believes that a major department store chain has violated their supply contract. Consequently, the manufacturer intends to file a claim against the chain for a reported value of £22,500.
Which track will the court likely assign to the case?
An electronics manufacturer believes that a major department store chain has violated their supply contract. Consequently, the manufacturer intends to file a claim against the chain for a reported value of £22,500.
Which track will the court likely assign to the case?
Fast track.
(B) The court will likely allocate the case to the fast track if it involves at least £10,000 (or £1,000 for personal injuries) and up to £25,000.
(A) It is incorrect to assume that multi-track is the appropriate track for claims worth more than £25,000, which is not the case.
Similarly, cases involving less than £10,000 or less than £1,000 for pain and suffering or loss of amenity are allocated to small claims, which makes option (C) incorrect.
Options (D) and (E) are incorrect because Technology and Construction and Commercial are not tracks but rather the names of specialist courts within the Queen's Bench Division.
