If the claim is a designated money claim, where can an interim application be made?

• A. In any county court hearing centre
• B. Only in the claimant's local court
• C. Only in the High Court
• D. Only in the county court money claims centre

Answer: (A)

Interim applications are part of the county court process for money claims, and they can be made at any county court hearing centre. A designated money claim moves through the county court framework, so temporary orders or directions can be sought in the local court that will deal with the case, rather than being restricted to a single centre. The High Court path is not required for these claims, and the Money Claims Centre is primarily an administrative hub for issuing and processing claims, not the sole place to pursue interim relief. Therefore the most flexible and correct route is to lodge the interim application at any county court hearing centre.
