Concise Narrative Statement

1 min read

A short written statement setting out a party's case on the relevant issues, ordered by the court at a directions hearing. It is 'narrative' (telling the story) and 'concise' (limited in length), and focuses on the factors the court must consider rather than repeating the whole Form E.

In Plain English
