other matter in which a number of items of a claim are in dispute in
relation to liability, amount or both.
(2) The party making the claim—
(a) may prepare and file a ‘Scott schedule’; and
(b) if the court orders—must prepare and file a ‘Scott schedule’.

Rule 432
(3) A party on whom a Scott schedule is served must complete and file
the schedule.
Note A ‘Scott schedule’ is a document that contains a summary of the parties’
claims and defences. The summary is set out in columns so that it is easy
to see the issues on which the parties agree and those on which they do
not agree.
