Not knowing which type of order you have: Check the title page or the original document itself to see if it uses 'Interim', 'Site Excluding', etc.
Assuming the court will automatically accept your request without hearing arguments.
Filing the form with only a vague reason instead of specific details about *what* needs changing (e.g., change date from 1/1/2024 to 15/3/2024).
Using this form when you need to apply to the CRO for a company order variation, rather than the Courts Service.
