Which of the following is included in the trial bundle?

• A. Part 36 offers
• B. The trial timetable
• C. The claim form and statements of case
• D. The national insurance numbers of witnesses

Answer: (C)

The trial bundle is the set of documents the judge will rely on during the hearing. It should include the documents that define what the case is about and what each side says, so the court can follow the issues and the evidence.

The claim form and statements of case are included because they establish the dispute and lay out each party’s position. They are the formal pleadings that identify the questions the trial must decide and the facts in contention, making them essential to the bundle.

Other items listed aren’t typically part of the main trial bundle. Part 36 offers relate to settlement and costs issues rather than the evidence to be relied on at trial, so they’re not routinely included in the trial bundle. The trial timetable is set out in directions or orders and may be provided separately rather than in the bundle. National insurance numbers of witnesses are sensitive personal data and not normally included in the bundle.
