The nominated E1 in the File Registry will complete a form - Timber Rev 8a - by filling in the appropriate sections. He/she will use the details from either the file or previous Rev 8a and confirm the solicitor’s address/DX details from the Waterstones Directory.

Three copies of the Rev 8a will be printed. One copy will be stamped “ copy for retention” and sent with a signed copy to the appropriate solicitors. The third copy will be attached to the file cover and the file BU’d for two months.

If after two months there is no response from the parties, send a reminder with a copy of the original Rev 8a. Put a copy of the reminder on the file and BU for a further month. If no response after another month, the case will be referred to the nominated caseworker for their consideration.

When a reply is received, if the answers are all negative, then BU the case for a further five years and return the file to the store via the registry.

If the answer to any of the questions is “yes,” the file will then be referred to the nominated caseworker.
