[Law]
The track to which a civil case is allocated when the amount claimed exceeds ￡5000 but is less than ￡15,000 (see ALLOCATION). The fast track provides a streamlined procedure in order to ensure that any legal and other costs remain proportionate to the amount claimed. It achieves this through the use of standard directions by the court, a fixed timetable of about 30 weeks between directions and trial, a trial of one day only, no oral expert evidence to be used in trial, and costs being fixed dependent on the level of advocacy used.
