Directions questionnaire support

N180 & N181 Directions Questionnaire Administrative Support

Organise customer-provided information into reviewable working N180 or N181 material without making litigation decisions.

For England and Wales civil matters where the court or adviser has identified the relevant directions questionnaire.

What the service does

One administrative route, with two distinct official forms

HMCTS identifies N180 for small-claims-track disputes and N181 for fast-track, intermediate-track or multi-track disputes.

We can collate supplied information and prepare working administrative material. The customer or adviser must identify the applicable form and decide every procedural or strategic answer.

Service detail 01

N180 and N181 are not interchangeable

The current HMCTS pages describe N180 for small claims and N181 for fast, intermediate or multi-track disputes. The court’s notice and current form control.

Disclosure Assist does not select the track or form.

Service detail 02

Decisions stay outside the service

We do not decide or recommend track allocation, mediation, witnesses, experts, venue, hearing length, costs strategy, applications or litigation strategy.

Where a field requires judgment, the customer or adviser supplies the answer.

Clear service boundary

Procedural choices remain with the customer or adviser

Disclosure Assist does not select the form or track, recommend mediation, choose witnesses or experts, decide venue or hearing length, provide costs strategy, make procedural applications or give litigation advice.

Disclosure Assist provides technical and administrative document support. We are not a solicitors' firm and do not provide legal advice or legal representation.
