This morning, the UPC has announced a two month delay to the
start of the sunrise period to 1st March 2023, which means the new
court will now open its doors on 1st June 2023. As per this
morning's announcement, all other preparatory work is on track
and in line with the published roadmap so no further delay is
expected.
To find out more about what this means for you, please contact
our dedicated UPC team on upc@marks-clerk.com.
"The start of the Sunrise Period
is postponed for two months. The initial roadmap foresaw 1 January
2023 as the beginning of the Sunrise Period with an entry into
force of the UPCA on 1 April 2023. The additional time is intended
to allow future users to prepare themselves for the strong
authentication which will be required to access the Case Management
System (CMS) and to sign documents."
