Filing tips
1. Check the latest version — forms are re-issued; download fresh rather than reusing old copies. 2. Send the right number of copies — usually original + 1 copy for the court, plus copies for each respondent. 3. Keep proof of filing — get the court to date-stamp your copy, or send by tracked post. 4. Keep a copy of everything you send — you will need it for your bundle later.
