Serving the Treasury Solicitor with Legal Proceedings
Most civil proceedings against Central Government (including contract, property, restitution and tort claims) are brought against the authorised government Department specified in the List published by the Minister for the Civil Service under section 17 of the Crown Proceedings Act 1947. This list names the Departments for whom the Treasury Solicitor acts and also those Departments for whom other departmental solicitors act. If the Department is not listed, or if it is not clear which Department should be named, proceedings may be brought against the Attorney General and served on the Treasury Solicitor.

In relation to proceedings in the Administrative Court (such as judicial review claims under Part 54 of the Civil Procedure Rules) the Treasury Solicitor will also accept service on behalf of those Ministers and office holders whose responsibilities match those of the Departments for whom the Treasury Solicitor acts under the list mentioned above.

Litigants and their solicitors are strongly advised to serve on the Treasury Solicitor in such cases as this avoids difficulties including (if relevant) those associated with the need for personal service on the defendant. Similarly, where the responsibilities of the defendant match those of a Department for whom a departmental solicitor would act under the list mentioned above, service should be on that solicitor.

Service of process by e-mail or fax is subject to prior arrangement through Susanna McGibbon, Head of Litigation and Employment Group.
