Works out which documents you have to hand over to the other side in a civil case in England & Wales, and builds the formal list. The part it gets right that trips people up is which disclosure regime applies — Practice Direction 57AD (the Disclosure Pilot, now permanent in the Business and Property Courts, with its Models A–E) or standard disclosure under CPR Part 31 everywhere else. It picks the regime, chooses a Model per issue, structures the Disclosure Review Document, and drafts the disclo

In a Chancery Division dispute under PD 57AD, we need narrow search-based disclosure for documents likely to support or adversely affect the case on a core factual issue. Select the appropriate Extended Disclosure Model for Section 1B.

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
| Court / Division | Regime |
|---|---|
| Business and Property Courts (Commercial, Chancery, TCC, Circuit Commercial, IP, Financial List) | PD 57AD (Disclosure Pilot — now permanent) |
| Other High Court divisions, County Court, fast track and multi-track | CPR Part 31 |
| Small claims track | CPR 27.4 (limited disclosure on directions) |
| Family proceedings | FPR — separate regime not covered here |
After Initial Disclosure (limited — documents relied on plus those required for the other party to understand the case), the parties agree or the court orders Extended Disclosure by issue, using one or more of:
| Model | What it requires |
|---|---|
| A | Disclosure confined to known adverse documents (no further search). |
| B | Limited disclosure — documents necessary to enable other parties to understand the case being advanced. No proactive search beyond what was done for Initial Disclosure. |
| C | Request-based search — disclosure of specific documents or narrow classes specified by request. The narrowest "real search" model. |
| D | Narrow search-based disclosure — search for documents likely to be relevant + adverse documents found. The PD 57AD equivalent of standard disclosure. |
| E | Wide search — like Model D but including the train-of-enquiry approach (Peruvian Guano style). Available only where necessary to fairly resolve issues, generally where strong reasons. |
Selection happens via the Disclosure Review Document (DRD) — a structured negotiation document parties complete and exchange.
