OPRC Consultation on the The Online Procedure (Core Rules and Pilot Schemes) Rules 2026
Resolution’s response to the OPRC Consultation on the The Online Procedure (Core Rules and Pilot Schemes) Rules 2026.
Resolution has responded to the OPRC Consultation on the The Online Procedure (Core Rules and Pilot Schemes) Rules 2026.
The consultation sought views and comments on the first Online Procedure Rules to be made by the OPRC. These rules will, in the future, apply to all proceedings where there are Online Procedure Rules. To begin with, they will apply only to possession proceedings.
Overall, Resolution considers that the draft framework is capable of translating into family proceedings, but some of the terminology probably needs refining to reflect the reality of financial remedy work, rather than assuming a civil dispute model. We of course have in mind that the only other area where the OPRC currently has power to make rules is in relation to finances on divorce, so have largely focused on this at this stage.
