Status:
This is the original version (as it was originally made). Northern Ireland Statutory Rules are not carried in their revised form on this site.
Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Rules.)
These Rules amend the County Court Rules (Northern Ireland) 1981 by substituting a new Part II in Order 24 to give effect to the Civil Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1997.
As envisaged by Article 4(1) of the 1997 Order, where a hearsay statement is adduced in civil proceedings the maker of the statement may be called by another party and cross-examined as if the statement were his evidence in chief.
Where a party indicates that he intends to adduce hearsay evidence of a statement made by a person and will not call that person as a witness, any other party intending to attack the credibility of the person making the statement shall, so far as is reasonable, give notice of his intention to attack the person’s credibility.
