For two years running the post on how to prepare a trial bundle has been the most popular post on this blog (this year it is running second to the post on how to draft a witness statement). The reasons for the concern can be seen in the judgment of Mr Justice Coulson in Deluxe Art & Theme Limite...
As the criminal courts of England & Wales switch over from paper to electronic bundles (completely during this year) this problem will no longer apply to those sitting in Crown Courts.
In fact, if the parties feel that documents must be added to the evidence set, they will no longer translate into weight that must be carried by the Judge or the Judge’s clerk.
We should all look forward to the civil courts following the lead of the criminal courts.
