Setting aside order for extension

Hoddinott and others v Persimmon Homes (Wessex) Ltd CA TLR 28 December

The word ‘jurisdiction’ is used in two different senses in the Civil Procedure Rules. One meaning is territorial jurisdiction as used in rule 2.3 and in the provisions governing service of the claim form out of the jurisdiction, as in rule 6.20, but in rule 11.1, the word does not denote territorial jurisdiction, it refers to the court’s power or authority to try a claim.
