Bovale Ltd v Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government and Another
Court of Appeal
“While a judge had no power to alter the Civil Procedure Rules or vary any practice direction, either by a judgment or purported practice direction, he did have an inherent jurisdiction to include procedural directions of a general application where there was a gap in the rules or in the practice directions.”
