UK courts also maintain an inherent jurisdiction to manage legal proceedings before them,China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation v Emerald Energy Resources Ltd [2018] EWHC 1503 (Comm) (22 June 2018), para 61 but it is rarely exercised. Stays of proceedings are usually made under case management powers,CPR 3.1(2)(f) and may be ordered upon the application by one of the parties or by the court's own motion (the latter being infrequent).
