Schedule of Deficiencies

Hi, Final hearing is not until November but I have until Friday to prepare a "Schedule of Deficiencies". I have no idea where to even start there are so many holes
Does anyone have a "blank" template they have used to help me with the format please?

I would be inclined to go through the questionnaire and answers and list those for which the answer is inadequate.

e.g. Q. Please would the Respondent explain why his trousers cost £1000 a pair and he buys 2 pairs a month?

A. The Respondent has long legs.

Deficiency: The Respondent has not provided an adequate Response to the question. Please would he provide evidence to show why having long legs necessitates spending £2,000 a month on trousers.



q: Please would the Respondent provide 12 months bank statements for account end in XYZ.

A. Here are 3 bank statements - attached.

Deficiency. The respondent has provided only 3 out of 12 months statements for the account ending in XYZ. These should be provided as requested.

Include only those questions for which you dod nt get a satisfactory answer - use the numbers from the questionnaire so it may be 2, 7, 10 etc ...


put a header (same as on the other court documents) and entitle it Applicant's Schedule of Deficiencies.

Sign and date at the bottom.

Hi Susie, I am actually in need of this now, i am litigant in person. Any advice how you found the template and submitted this to the court before the FDR?

There isn't a template as such. You just use the court header (court name, case number, names and designations (applicant/respondent) and the questions and responses from the original questionnaire. As above note the deficiencies below the question and answer plus any supplementary question if appropriate.

Title it Schedule of Deficiencies.
You may want to add a brief line at the top to explain why it has been necessary to raise the schedule.

Ask the other side to respond and give a deadline for response.

If they do not respond in the timeframe and their failure to do so risks the next hearing being wasted, you may need to apply for a court order.

Do make sure though that the deficiencies really will have a material impact on any potential settlement.
