On a partnership under the CPR

Brooks v AH Brooks & Co (a firm) and another [2010] EWHC 2720 (Ch); [2010] All ER (B) 85 (Nov); NLJ 19 November p1615

The relevant provisions for service on members of a solicitors’ partnership are in CPR PD7A, pursuant to which it is now normally obligatory (rather than merely permissible as formerly), to use the partnerships business name as that of the defendant.
