ES1 (Statement of Information)

1 min read

The composite case summary used in financial remedy cases, setting out the background, the issues and each party's proposals (the figures go in the ES2). The updated ES1 and ES2 are filed before the FDR, by the deadline in your own court order, so the judge can see the position at a glance.

In Plain English

A short summary form used to give the judge a quick look at your main financial figures and what you are asking for. It helps the judge understand your position before a hearing begins.
