Civil Litigation

Civil litigation is the body of procedure and substantive law, primarily governed by the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 and the Senior Courts Act 1981, by which parties pursue or defend non-criminal legal claims before the courts of England and Wales. Civil-litigation work generates large volumes of personal data through disclosure bundles, witness statements, expert reports, and inter-party correspondence. Under the Civil Procedure Rules — in particular CPR Part 31 on disclosure — solicitors must share documents proportionately while still respecting UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. anonym.legal will offer en-GB workflows that pseudonymise non-party identifiers, witness contact details, and sensitive third-party data inside court-bound material, leaving the substantive evidential narrative intact. Task-specific disclosure-redaction guidance lands in US-006.
