Additional Party Details

What this form is for

• • When you need to add someone who isn't the main Applicant or Respondent.
• • Use this when there are third parties whose involvement needs official recognition in the case file.
• • It is used alongside other primary court forms (like a Plenary Summons) to flesh out the details of those new parties.
• • Do not use this if you are only changing an address; use a variation or amendment form for that.
