And there are real world repercusssions for failing to keep to these things. Affidavits rejected, timelines missed, sometimes even both. Can delay your call date and as I'm sure SILE may have warned on the Part B lectures, even prevent your call entirely. SILE must have given examples of people dishonestly backdating call documents and not getting called as a consequence,

Advice is: research this yourself. When things go sideways later on in your career, you bear the blame. Don't come back to the senior who told you, eh I always like that one. So it's OK, don't worry. Judge doesn't care, client doesn't care. And word gets around (yes even among judges) that you're incompetent.

So don't be lazy. Don't always ask around for answers from colleagues. Sometimes they arr kind enough. Don't expect that they will always be. You may be wrestling with subs at 2am, and no one's there to pick up your calls to prevent you from getting fked by the court in the morning.

Deal with it. A lot of practice is dealing with uncertainty and risk. No one's going to hold your hand and say it's going to be fine. No one's going to give you the MCQ answers before the hearing. YOU are doing that for the client. If you don't like it, as so many people in this thread have bemoaned it, maybe you should reconsider filing the call papers.

Don't ever ask this in here again.
