What People Expect

People assume the court only needs one copy.

Court Reality

The Bundles Guide (para 9.1) says that if paper bundles are ordered, check what the judge has said about how many copies are needed, which can vary where magistrates hear the case or witnesses attend. Each copy should show the case number, court name and hearing date on the front. Rules and orders differ here: check your own order.
