English Legal System: Allocation
In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Allocation :
The stage in civil litigation when a decision is made as to how the case is to be dealt with. After each of the parties has completed and filed an *allocation questionnaire, allocation is made to one of three tracks:
(1) the *small claims track for cases worth less than £5000;
(2) the *fast track for cases worth between £5000 and £15,000; and
(3) the *multi-track for cases worth more than £15,000. After allocation has taken place, the court will proceed to give standard directions as to how the case should proceed. This stage was formerly (before the introduction of the Civil Procedure Rules in 1999) referred to as setting down for trial.
