sec.21 Copy of draft order or directions must be served
If an active party to a P&E Court proceeding (the relevant party ) applies, under rule 20 , for an order or directions about the proceeding, the relevant party must give the other active parties to the application a copy of a draft of the order or directions the relevant party is seeking (the draft order ) not later than 2 days before the day the application is to be heard.

If the draft order is rejected by an active party to the application (the rejecting party ), the rejecting party must give the relevant party and other active parties to the application a copy of a draft of any orders or directions the rejecting party is seeking not later than 4p.m. on the day before the application is to be heard.
