ORDER 3PART I 1 1 All persons may be joined as plaintiffs in one action in whom any right to relief in respect of or arising out of the same transaction or series of transactions is alleged to exist, whether jointly, severally, or in the alternative, where, if they brought separate actions, any common question of law or fact would arise but if, on the application of any defendant, it appears that any joinder may embarrass or delay the hearing, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may order separate hearings, or make such other order as he thinks fit. 2 A decree may be given for any plaintiff for the relief to which he is entitled, without any amendment, but any defendant, though unsuccessful, may be awarded any extra costs caused by joining any person who is not found entitled to relief. 2 1 All persons may be joined as defendants in one action against whom the right to any relief in respect of or arising out of the same transaction or event or series of transactions or events is alleged to exist, whether jointly, severally or in the alternative, where if separate actions were brought any common question of law or fact would arise. 2 A decree may be given against such one or more of the defendants as may be found to be liable according to their respective liabilities without any amendment. 3 Where two or more persons are made defendants, whether as jointly or as severally liable, the plaintiff may have a decree against any one or more of the defendants without prejudice to his right to proceed with the action against any other defendant. 4 Where a plaintiff proceeds against one or more of several persons jointly liable, the defendant or defendants sued may avail himself or themselves of any set-off or other defence to which he or they would be entitled if all the persons liable were made defendants. 3 It shall not be necessary that every defendant to an action shall be interested as to all the relief claimed, or as to every cause of action, but [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may make any order that may appear just to prevent any defendant from being embarrassed or put to expense by being required to attend any proceedings in which he has no interest. 4 The plaintiff may at his option join as parties to the same action all or any one of the persons severally or jointly and severally liable on any one contract. 5 Where the plaintiff is in doubt as to the person from whom he is entitled to redress, he may join two or more defendants, so that the question is liable, and to what extent, may be determined between the parties. 6 1 No action or matter shall be affected by reason of the misjoinder or non-joinder of parties, and [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may in every action or matter deal as justice may require with the real question at issue between the parties actually before him. 2 Where one or more than one of several persons jointly liable is sued and the other or others so liable and not sued reside out of the jurisdiction or are dead, the fact of the residence of the party or parties not sued being outside the jurisdiction, or the death of such parties, shall appear on the face of the process. 7 1 Where there are numerous persons having the same interest in one action or matter, one or more of them may be authorised or appointed by [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] before or at the hearing, to sue or defend on behalf of all persons so interested. 2 Where a defendant desires to defend on behalf of numerous persons having the same interest, he shall, within five days from the day on which the civil bill is served on him, file in the Office an affidavit stating the facts on which he relies and the names, addresses and occupations or, where appropriate, a collective description of the persons on behalf of whom he desires to defend, and serve on the plaintiff a copy of the affidavit together with a notice of the defendant’s intention to apply to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] at or before the hearing of the action or matter for leave so to defend. 3 If an order is made for the defendant so to defend— a a collective description sufficient to designate the persons to whom the order relates shall be added to the name of the defendant in the books of the court; b notice shall be given to such persons affected by the order and in such manner, in Form 3 or Form 4 or otherwise, as [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] directs; c the hearing of the action or matter may be adjourned to enable any person who is included in the collective description to object to the defendant defending on behalf of all or any of the persons to whom the order relates; d where an objection is made under paragraph (c), [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] shall consider the objection and make such further order as he thinks fit. 8 1 Trustees, executors and administrators may sue and be sued on behalf of or as representing the property or estate of which they are trustees or representatives, without joining any person beneficially interested-therein, and shall be considered as representing such person, but [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may, at any stage of the proceedings, order any person to be made a party either in addition to or in lieu of the previously existing parties. 2 This Rule shall apply to trustees, executors and administrators sued in proceedings to enforce a security by sale or otherwise. 9 1 Where any person against whom an action would have lain has died but the cause of action survives, the action may, if no grant of probate or administration has been made, be brought against the estate of the deceased. 2 Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1), an action brought against “the personal representatives of AB deceased” shall be treated for the purposes of that paragraph as having been brought against his estate. 3 An action purporting to have been commenced against a person shall be treated, if he was dead at its commencement, as having been commenced against his estate in accordance with paragraph (1), whether or not a grant of probate or administration was made before its commencement.] 4 In any such action as is referred to in paragraph (1) or (3)— a the plaintiff shall apply to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] for an order appointing a person to represent the deceased’s estate for the purpose of the proceedings or, if a grant of probate or administration has been made [ . . .], for an order, that the personal representative of the deceased be made a party to the proceedings, and in either case for an order that the proceedings be carried on against the person so appointed, or as the case may be against the personal representative, as if he had been substituted for the estate; b [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] at any stage of the proceedings and on such terms as he thinks just and either on his own motion or on application may make such order as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (a) and allow such amendments (if any) to be made and make such other order as he thinks necessary in order to ensure that all matters in dispute in the proceedings may be effectually and completely determined and adjudicated upon. 5 Before making an order under paragraph (4) [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may notice to be given to any insurer of the deceased who has an interest in the proceedings an such (if any) of the persons having an interest in the estate as he thinks fit. 6 Where no grant of probate or administration has been made, any decree granted in the proceedings shall bind the estate to the same extent as it would have been bound if a grant had been made and a personal representative of the deceased had been a party to the proceedings. 10 In actions brought under Article 12 of the Order, any person not named as a defendant— a may appear and defend, on sending by post to the chief clerk and to each plaintiff and defendant [ at any time before the hearing] a notice claiming that he has an estate or interest in the land to which the action relates or a part thereof; b may, by leave of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be], appear and defend at the hearing, and [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may, if he thinks fit, add the name of such person as a defendant in the action; and [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may deal with such person, both as to costs and allowances, as if he had been originally named as a defendant and served with the civil bill. PART II 11 Without prejudice to Article 39(2)(c) of the Order, a minor may sue by his next friend and may defend by his guardian ad litem. 12 A [ patient for whom a controller has been appointed] may sue and defend by his [ controller] and [ a patient for whom a controller has not been appointed] may sue by his next friend and may defend by his guardian ad litem. 13 Where— a a minor desires to commence proceedings (other than an action in his own name under Article 39(2)(c) of the Order) or is a claimant in interpleader proceedings; or b proceedings are to be commenced, or a claim made in interpleader proceedings, on behalf of a [ patient for whom a controller has not been appointed]; the proceedings or claim shall be in the name of the minor or person by his next friend. 14 1 Where proceedings in which a next friend is required are commenced without such next friend [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may— a on the application of any party or of his own motion appoint as next friend any person who consents to act and gives an undertaking in Form 5; or b order the proceedings to be struck out. 2 Where a next friend is appointed under paragraph (1), Order 4 Rule 2(2) shall apply. 15 1 Where any defendant is a person for whom a guardian ad litem may properly be appointed, the following provisions apply— a [ not later than 21 days after service of the civil bill except with the consent of the other parties or the leave of the court], a guardian ad litem may be appointed by the chief clerk on application made to him on behalf of that defendant, on affidavit in Form 6 together with a written consent of the proposed guardian to act; b where the appointment is so made, the order shall be in Form 7 and the chief clerk shall send notice to the plaintiff in Form 8; c where a guardian ad litem has not been appointed under sub-paragraph (a) or where the person appointed dies or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to act, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may appoint, a person to be guardian ad litem. 2 A guardian ad litem shall not be personally liable for any costs not occasioned by his own personal negligence or misconduct. PART III 16 Where any person or class of persons is beneficially interested in any proceedings for the administration of the estate of a deceased person or for the execution of the trusts or the construction of any instrument, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may, whether such person or class has been ascertained or not, appoint any person to represent such person or class, and any order made in the presence of the person so appointed shall be binding on the person or class so represented. 17 Any person beneficially interested in the residuary estate or a deceased person or any one of several cestuis que trustent under any instrument, being entitled to an order for the administration of the estate or for the execution of the trust, may have the same without serving notice of the proceedings on all the other persons so interested. 18 [ The judge or district judge as the case may be] may require any person to be made a party to any proceedings, may give the conduct of the proceedings to such person as he thinks fit, and may make such order in any particular case as he thinks just for placing the defendant on the record on the same footing in regard to costs, as other parties having a common interest with him in the matter in question. 19 1 Where in any proceedings for— a the administration of the estate of a deceased person; or b the execution of the trusts of any instrument; or c the sale of any property; an order has been made, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may direct that any persons interested in the estate or under the trust or in the property shall be served with notice of the order. 2 Any person so served shall be bound by the proceedings as if he had originally been made a party and shall be at liberty to attend the proceedings and may at the next sitting of the court after service, or by leave of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] at any subsequent sitting, apply to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] to discharge, vary or add to the order. 20 1 Subject to paragraph (2) the notice of an order mentioned in Rule 19 shall be served and endorsed in like manner as a civil bill. 2 Where it appears to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] that service of the notice cannot be effected or ought to be dispensed with, he may wholly dispense with service or may order substituted service. 3 Where the order is for accounts and inquiries and service of the notice on any person is dispensed with, such person shall, unless [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] otherwise orders, be bound by the order. 21 If, in any proceedings, it appears to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] that any deceased person who was interested in the matter in question has no legal personal representative, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may— a proceed in the absence of any person representing the estate of the deceased person; or b may appoint some proper person to represent the estate for the purpose of the proceedings; on such notice to such persons, if any as [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may think fit, either specifically or generally by public advertisement, and the order made, and any order consequent thereon, shall bind the estate of the deceased person in the same manner in every respect as if a duly constituted legal personal representative of the deceased had been a party to the proceedings. 22 1 In any proceedings for the administration of the estate of a deceased person, no party other than the representative shall, except by leave of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be], be entitled to appear either in court or in chambers on the claim of any person not a party to the proceedings against the estate of the deceased person in respect of any debt or liability. 2 [ The judge or district judge as the case may be] may direct or give liberty to any other party to the proceedings to appear either in addition to or in place of the representative. PART IV 23 1 Where, after the commencement of any action and before final decree, there is any assignment, creation, change, transmission or devolution of the interest, estate or title of any plaintiff, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may, upon the ex parte application of the person to or upon whom such interest, estate or title has come or devolved or of any party to the action, grounded upon an affidavit setting out the facts of such assignment, creation, change, transmission or devolution, make an order that such person be substituted for or made a joint plaintiff with the plaintiff named in the original civil bill and [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may, before making such order, require such notice of the application to be served as he thinks fit. 2 Where, after the commencement of any action, there is any assignment, creation, change, transmission or devolution of the interest, estate or title of any defendant, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may, on an ex parte application grounded upon an affidavit setting forth the facts of such assignment, creation, change, transmission or devolution, make an order that the person to or upon whom such interest, estate or title has come or devolved, be substituted for or made a joint defendant with the defendant named in the original civil bill, and [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may, before making such order, require such notice of the application to be served as he thinks fit. 24 Where a plaintiff or defendant in an action or matter dies and the cause of action survives but the person entitled to proceed fails to proceed, the defendant (or the person against whom proceedings may be continued) may apply to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] for an order directing the plaintiff (or person entitled to proceed) to proceed within such time as may be ordered and in default the action or matter may be struck out, and in a case where it is the plaintiff who has died, execution may be had for any costs awarded to the defendant as if Order 40 Rule 2 applied. 25 Where a party is substituted or added the books of the court shall be altered and all subsequent proceedings shall be carried on accordingly. ORDER 4 1 1 Where it appears that the plaintiff does not reside in Northern Ireland, the chief clerk may, on application of a defendant, order security for costs to be given to the satisfaction of the chief clerk and before making such an order the chief clerk shall consider all the circumstances of the case including any right of the defendant to proceed under the [ Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act 1933 or the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982] to recover any costs awarded to him. 2 A person ordinarily resident out of Northern Ireland may be ordered to give security though he may be temporarily resident in Northern Ireland. 3 Any party to the action or other proceeding may, on giving at least two days’ notice to the other party, appeal to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] against any decision or order of the chief clerk under this Rule. 4 Where an order is made under paragraph (1) the action or other proceeding shall not, without leave of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be], proceed to hearing until the order has been complied with. 2 1 A person acting as next friend in any proceedings shall— a before the proceedings are commenced; or b in the case of interpleader proceedings to which Order 10 applies before the issue of the summons; deliver at the Office an undertaking in Form 5, witnessed by a solicitor or person by whom affidavits may be taken. 2 On giving the undertaking, the next friend shall be liable for costs in the same manner and to the same extent as if he were himself a plaintiff, and, if the proceedings fail or are discontinued, an order for payment of costs may be made against the next friend whether an order for costs is or is not made against the person under disability, and proceedings may be taken on the order for the recovery of the costs as for the recovery of any amount payable under a decree. 3 This Rule does not apply to proceedings under Order 44. 3 Where any proceedings in which a person is suing by a next friend are remitted to a county court, the plaintiff shall lodge with the chief clerk the written authority for the use of the name of the next friend filed in the High Court, or a duplicate or copy thereof, which shall be deemed to be an undertaking within Rule 2. ORDER 5 1 1 Except as otherwise provided by an enactment or these Rules, proceedings in a county court shall be commenced by a civil bill in such one of the Forms 9 to 32 as may be appropriate. 2 Every civil bill shall be signed by the plaintiff or by his solicitor or a partner or duly authorised employee of his solicitor. 3 A civil bill commencing proceedings in a title action or for ejectment on the title shall be headed with the words “Title Jurisdiction”. 4 A civil bill commencing proceedings within the equity jurisdiction of the court (in these Rules referred to as an “equity civil bill”) shall be headed with the words “Equity Civil Bill”. 5 An ordinary or ejectment civil bill shall bear an endorsement in Form 10 or Form 13, as may be appropriate. 2 1 The plaintiff shall set out in his civil bill particulars of his claim. 1A Where the plaintiff claims interest under Article 45A of the Order or otherwise the particulars of claim set out in his civil bill shall contain a statement to that effect] [ and shall specify the amount claimed as interest with the degree of particularity required by [ Rule 1A of Order 33].] 2 In an action for the recovery of or in relation to land, the plaintiff shall give a full description of the land and in such an action or in an action for the recovery of rent or mesne profits the plaintiff shall set out in his civil bill the facts on which he relies as giving the court jurisdiction. 3 A plaintiff suing as the assignee of a debt or other legal thing in action shall set out in his civil bill the name and description of the assignor and the date of the assignment. 4 A plaintiff suing for the recovery of a book or shop debt or other running account shall [ set out full particulars of his demand in the civil bill]; but [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may dispense with his requirement if in any case he is satisfied that it is unnecessary. 5 A plaintiff alleging a breach of statutory duty shall set out in his civil bill particulars of the enactment on which he relies. 6 Where a plaintiff desires to abandon, under Article 10(1) of the Order, the excess of his claim over [ £30,000], the abandonment of the excess shall be entered at the end of the particulars. 7 An equity civil bill shall set out as concisely as may be the facts constituting the plaintiff’s claim and the facts upon which the plaintiff relies as giving the court jurisdiction. 8 Where reference to a sum of money is made in the civil bill or in the particulars the sum must be stated in decimal currency. 9 Where a claim made in the proceedings is one which the court has power to hear and determine by virtue of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 and the civil bill is to be served out of Northern Ireland, the particulars of claim shall contain a statement that the court has power under that Act to hear and determine the claim and that no proceedings involving the same cause of action are pending between the parties in England and Wales, Scotland or another Convention territory. For the purpose of this paragraph, “Convention territory” means the territory or territories of any Contracting State, as defined by section 1(3) of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982, to which [ the Brussels Convention or the Lugano Convention as defined] in section 1(1) of that Act apply.] 3 1 In any case to which Rule 2(4) does not apply, the defendant may require the plaintiff, by notice in writing served within 14 days after service of the notice of intention to defend, to furnish further particulars of claim within 14 days of service of the notice for particulars. 2 In any case to which Rule 2(4) does not apply, the plaintiff may require the defendant by notice in writing served within 14 days after service of the particulars of claim or where no notice for further particulars of claim has been served, within 14 days of service of the notice of intention to defend, to furnish particulars of any defence, set off or counterclaim within 14 days of service of the notice for particulars. 3 Where under paragraphs (1) and (2) particulars have been duly required and— a have not been furnished within the time specified in the notice; or b if furnished, are in the opinion of the judge or district judge insufficient; the judge or district judge may make such order as he thinks just including, in particular, an order that the proceedings be dismissed or, as the case may be, an order that the notice of intention to defend be struck out and judgment be entered accordingly. 4 Any costs occasioned by service of a notice under paragraph (1) or (2) shall be at the discretion of the judge or district judge as the case may be. 5 Where a defendant has served a third party notice this Rule shall, with any necessary modifications, apply as if the third party were a defendant and a plaintiff. 6 In this Rule the words “plaintiff” and “defendant” respectively shall include a plaintiff and defendant to a counterclaim.] 4 1 Where civil proceedings are brought against the Crown in accordance with the provisions of the Crown Proceedings Act the Crown may, within three days from the service of the civil bill, serve a notice upon the plaintiff or his solicitor, requiring such information as may be reasonably necessary to show the circumstances in which the alleged liability of the Crown has arisen, and as to any department and officer of the Crown concerned. 2 The plaintiff or his solicitor shall, within three days from the service of such notice, serve upon the Crown an answer to the notice containing the required particulars, and the plaintiff shall be bound by the statements contained therein unless at the hearing [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] otherwise directs. 3 If the plaintiff fails to comply with the requirements of such notice as aforesaid, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] shall, subject to paragraph (4), adjourn the hearing and direct the plaintiff to furnish the required particulars within such time as is specified by [ the judge or district judge as the case may be]. The costs of such adjournment shall be in the discretion of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be]. 4 If it appears to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be], on the application of the plaintiff, that the furnishing by the plaintiff of the particulars required by the Crown is not reasonably practicable or is likely to prejudice the plaintiff’s case, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] shall not direct such particulars to be furnished; and in any such case an answer by the plaintiff which omits such particulars shall be deemed to be a sufficient compliance with the notice; and if such an answer has already been served [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may proceed to hear and determine the civil bill without an adjournment. 5 1 Subject to Order 28, proceedings under paragraphs (i), (k) and (l) of Article 14 of the Order shall be commenced by a petition in such one of Forms 33 to 36 as may be appropriate. 2 The petition and two copies thereof shall be delivered to the chief clerk at his office and he shall issue same by endorsing on the petition and on a copy a notice in Form 37 and shall file the petition, and return such endorsed copy for service. 3 The person delivering the petition shall cause such endorsed copy to be served in accordance with Order 6 on the person necessary to be served therewith.

[ . . .] 2 A person shall not be added as a plaintiff without his consent in writing, or in the case of a person under disability, without the consent in writing of the next friend or committee or other person acting on behalf of the person under disability. 2 Where any person is ordered to be added or substituted as defendant, except under Rule 8, the amended civil bill or other originating process shall, be served on the added or substituted defendant according to the rules applicable to the service of a civil bill[ . . .]. 3 1 Any amendment may be made at any stage of the proceedings by [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] of his own motion or at the hearing or on notice before the hearing on the application of any party. 2 When an application for an amendment is made after any relevant period of limitation has expired since the issue of the originating process, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may nevertheless allow the amendment if it is such as the High Court would have power to allow in a like case.] 4 A plaintiff may, at any time before an action is called on for hearing or in opening his case, abandon any part of his claim. 5 1 Where, upon the taking of an account or on the evidence given at the hearing, it appears that a plaintiff is entitled to recover an amount larger than that claimed in his civil bill but not beyond the limit of the court’s jurisdiction, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may, on payment by the plaintiff of the difference between the court fees paid and those payable on the larger amount, give a decree for the larger amount. 2 A decree given under this Rule shall show the amount by which the claim has been enlarged. 6 Where, upon the taking of an account, it appears that a plaintiff is entitled to an amount beyond the limit of the jurisdiction of the court and he has not abandoned the excess, he may abandon it and a decree may be given for so much of that amount as lies within the jurisdiction of the court. 7 1 Notice of an application by a defendant to join any other person as a defendant pursuant to sections 40 and 49(2) of the Civil Aviation Act 1949 shall be served within five days of the service of the civil bill on the defendant. 2 [ The judge or district judge as the case may be] may, as a condition of making the order, require the applicant to give an undertaking signed by him to indemnify the plaintiff against— a the costs of and occasioned by the joinder of the other person; and b any costs which the plaintiff may be ordered to pay to that person. 8 Where a person other than the defendant appears at the hearing and admits that he is the person whom the plaintiff intended to sue, or ought to have sued, he may, if the plaintiff consents, be substituted for the defendant[ . . .]. 9 Clerical mistakes in [ an application to make a settlement an order of the court under Order 21 Rule 1A or in] decrees or orders or errors arising therein from any accidental slip or omission may at any time be corrected by [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] or, with the consent of the parties, by the chief clerk. ORDER 10 1 1 Where a person (in this Order called “the applicant”) is under a liability for any debt or other thing in action, money or goods for or in respect of which he is or expects to be sued by two or more persons (in this Part called “the claimants”) making adverse claim thereto, he may apply to the court for relief by way of interpleader. 2 The application shall be made to the court in which the applicant is sued or, if he has not been sued, to the court in which he might be sued. 3 The applicant shall serve on each of the claimants a summons in Form 44 or Form 45 as appropriate together with an affidavit showing that— a he claims no interest in the subject-matter in dispute other than for charges or costs; and b he does not collude with any of the claimants; and c he is willing to transfer the subject-matter into court or dispose of it as the court may direct; and d except where the applicant is a defendant, the subject-matter ices not exceed in value the amount for which the court has jurisdiction; but, where a claimant has commenced proceedings against the applicant in respect of his claim, a notice in Form 46 in lieu of a summons as aforesaid shall be served on that claimant. 4 Subject to paragraph (5) the summons shall be served, entered, heard and determined as if it were an ordinary civil bill. 5 Where the applicant is a defendant the affidavit and summons or notice shall be served within seven days from the date of the service of the civil bill on him. 6 A claimant may, within six days from the day on which the summons and affidavit are served on him, send a notice to the applicant that he has no claim to the subject-matter in dispute. 2 The applicant shall not be disentitled to relief by reason only that the titles of the claimants have not a common origin but are adverse to and independent of each other. 3 1 On the hearing of the proceedings— a where the applicant is a defendant— i if the plaintiff does not appear, the action including the interpleader proceedings shall be struck out; or ii if the claimant does not appear, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] shall hear and determine ,the action as between the plaintiff and the defendant and may make an order barring the claim of the claimant; or iii if both the plaintiff and the claimant appear, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] shall, whether the defendant appears or not, hear the proceedings and give judgment finally determining the rights and claims of all parties; or b where the applicant is not a defendant— i if any claimant does not appear, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] shall make an order finally determining the claim as between the applicant and any claimant who appears and may make an order barring the claim of the absent claimant; or ii if all the claimants appear, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] shall, whether the applicant appears or not, hear the proceedings and make an order finally determining the rights and claims of all parties. 2 An order in Form 47 or Form 48 barring the claim of a claimant shall declare the claimant and all persons claiming under him to be for ever barred as against the, defendant or applicant and all persons claiming under him and also (where the claimant has sent a notice to the applicant that he makes no claim) as against the plaintiff or the other claimant and all persons claiming under him. 3 Where the claimant has not sent a notice to the applicant that he has no claim, an order barring the claim shall not affect the rights of that claimant and the plaintiff or another claimant as between themselves. ORDER 11 1 1 Where a defendant claims to be entitled to any contribution, indemnity or other relief over against any person not a party to the action (in this Order referred to as a “third party”) he may, [ within 14 days after service of his notice of intention to defend], serve on the third party in like manner as a civil bill a third party notice in Form 49, together with a copy of the civil bill in the action. 2 A third party notice may be served at any place in Northern Ireland. [ . . .] 3 When the third party notice has been served, a copy thereof shall forthwith be delivered to the plaintiff by post or otherwise and a copy thereof lodged with the chief clerk. 2 Subject to any order of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be], the notice shall have effect as if it were a civil bill served by the defendant on the third party. 2A 1 Without prejudice to paragraph (2), in any proceedings commenced by a third party notice which the third party intends to defend he shall, within a period of 21 days from the date of service upon him of the third party notice serve on the other party or parties to the proceedings and deliver to the chief clerk a notice of intention to defend in Form 42A. 2 A third party shall not serve a notice of intention to defend after the expiration of a period of 21 days after service upon him of the third party notice except with the consent in writing of the other party or parties or with the leave of the judge or the district judge as the case may be. 2B 1 In any proceedings in which a third party notice has been served under Rule 1 and a notice of intention-to defend that third party notice has been served any party to the proceedings may at any time apply to the district judge for directions in respect of the conduct or disposal of the third party proceedings. 2 On an application for directions under paragraph (1) the district judge may make such orders and give such directions as he considers appropriate.] 3 [ The judge or district judge as the case may be] at the hearing— a may give such directions or make such orders as he thinks appropriate for determining the issue between the parties; and b may pronounce such decree as the nature of the case may require and may make such order as to the costs and the third party proceedings as he considers just. 4 The foregoing Rules shall apply mutatis mutandis where— a a defendant claims to be entitled to any contribution, indemnity or other relief over against any other defendant; but a third party notice served on a defendant need not be accompanied by a copy of the civil bill [ (where however, defendants are sued as tort feasors liable in respect of the same damage, they shall be treated as opposite parties and no third party notice need be served under this rule, but any such defendant, if he intends in support of a claim for contribution or indemnity to rely on any contractual right, must furnish particulars thereof in writing to the other parties)]; b a third party claims to be entitled to any contribution, indemnity or other relief over against another person not a party to the action (who may be known as a “fourth party”) and c a fourth party or any subsequent party in like case makes a like claim against a person not a party to the action. 5 In this Order the words “plaintiff’ and “defendant” respectively shall include a plaintiff and a defendant to a counterclaim. [ ORDER 12PART I 1 1 Where a civil bill is endorsed with a claim against a defendant for a liquidated demand only, then if that defendant fails to serve a notice of intention to defend in Form 42 within a period of 21 days after service upon him of the civil bill, the plaintiff may enter final judgment against that defendant for a sum not exceeding that claimed by the civil bill in respect of the demand and continue with the proceedings against the other defendants if any. 2 A claim shall not be prevented from being treated for the purpose of this rule as a claim for a liquidated demand by reason only that part of the claim is for interest under Article 45A of the Order at a rate which is not higher than that payable on judgment debts at the date of issue of the civil bill. A claim for interest at a higher rate shall be treated as a claim for interest to be assessed. 3 Before final judgment is entered under this rule an affidavit must be lodged with the chief clerk specifying the amount then actually due to the plaintiff. 2 Where a civil bill is endorsed with a claim against a defendant for unliquidated damages only, then if the defendant fails to serve a notice of intention to defend in Form 42 within a period of 21 days after service upon him of the civil bill, the plaintiff may enter interlocutory judgment against that defendant for damages to be assessed and continue with the proceedings against the other defendants if any. 3 1 Where a civil bill is endorsed with a claim against a defendant relating to the detention of goods only, then if that defendant fails to serve a notice of intention to defend in Form 42 within a period of 21 days after service upon him of the civil bill the plaintiff may— a at his option enter either— i interlocutory judgment against that defendant for delivery of the goods or their value to be assessed, or ii interlocutory judgment for the value of the goods to be assessed; or b apply on notice to the district judge for judgment against that defendant for delivery of the goods without giving him the alternative of paying their assessed value, and in any case continue with the proceedings against the other defendants if any. 2 An application under paragraph (1)(b) must be supported by affidavit and the application and a copy of the affidavit must be served on the defendant against whom judgment is sought. 4 1 Where a civil bill is endorsed with a claim against a defendant for possession of land only, then subject to paragraphs (2), (3) and (4), if that defendant fails to serve a notice of intention to defend in Form 42 within a period of 21 days after service upon him of the civil bill, the plaintiff may enter judgment for possession of the land as against that defendant and continue with the proceedings against the other defendants if any. 2 The plaintiff shall not be entitled, except with the leave of the district judge, to enter judgment under this Rule unless he produces a certificate by his solicitor, or (if he sues in person) an affidavit, stating that the claim does not relate to a dwelling-house. 3 The plaintiff shall not be entitled, except with the leave of the district judge, to enter judgment under this Rule where the civil bill is endorsed with a claim against a defendant for possession of land for non-payment of rent unless he produces a certificate by his solicitor, or (if he sues in person) an affidavit, stating that the land does not comprise or include a holding agricultural or pastoral or partly agricultural and partly pastoral. 4 The plaintiff shall not be entitled to enter judgment under this Rule where the civil bill is endorsed with a claim against a defendant for possession of land for non-payment of rent unless he lodges with the chief clerk an affidavit made by the landlord, his agent, receiver or clerk, stating that there was at the date of service of the civil bill at least one year’s rent due over and above all just and fair allowances. 5 An application for leave to enter judgment under paragraph (2) or (3) shall state the grounds of the application, and the application must, unless the district judge otherwise orders be served on the defendant against whom it is sought to enter judgment. 6 Where there is more than one defendant, any judgment entered under this Rule shall contain a stay of enforcement against any defendant unless and until judgment for possession of the land has been entered against all the defendants. 7 Where the plaintiff is a superior landlord and he applies under paragraph (3) for leave to enter judgment against a defendant who is an immediate landlord the district judge may, having regard to the provisions of section 12 of the Land Law (Ireland) Act 1896:— a give such directions as to notice to tenants and otherwise and grant leave subject to such limitations as to enforcement of the judgment and such provisions as to costs as he thinks just; b on proof by affidavit that the non-payment of rent by the defendant is due to the non-payment of rent by the tenant of the holding, issue a certificate to that effect. 5 Where a civil bill served on any defendant is endorsed with two or more of the claims mentioned in Rules 1 to 4, and no other claim, then if that defendant fails to serve a notice of intention to defend in Form 42 within a period of 21 days after service upon him of the civil bill, the plaintiff may enter against that defendant such judgment in respect of any such claim as he would be entitled to enter under those rules if that were the only claim endorsed on the civil bill and proceed with the claim against the other defendants if any. 6 1 Where a civil bill is endorsed with a claim of a description not mentioned in Rules 1 to 4, then if any defendant fails to serve a notice of intention to defend in Form 42 within a period of 21 days after service upon him of the civil bill, the plaintiff may upon lodging with the chief clerk an affidavit proving due service of the civil bill on that defendant proceed with the claim as if that defendant had served a notice of intention to defend. 2 Where a defendant has satisfied the claim or complied with the demands thereof or for any other like reason it has become unnecessary for the plaintiff to continue with the proceedings then, if the defendant fails to serve a notice of intention to defend in Form 42 within a period of 21 days after service upon him of the civil bill, the plaintiff may enter judgment with the leave of the district judge against that defendant for costs. 3 An application for leave to enter judgment under paragraph (2) shall, unless the district judge otherwise orders, be served on the defendant against whom it is sought to enter judgment. 7 1 Judgment shall not be entered against a defendant under this Order unless— a an affidavit is lodged with the chief clerk by or on behalf of the plaintiff proving due service of the civil bill on the defendant; or b the plaintiff produces the civil bill endorsed by the defendant’s solicitor with a statement that he accepts service of the civil bill on the defendant’s behalf. 2 Where application is made to the district judge or chief clerk for an order affecting a party who has failed to serve a notice of intention to defend, the district judge or chief clerk hearing the application may require to be satisfied in such manner as he thinks fit that the party has failed to serve a notice of intention to defend. 3 Where, after judgment has been entered under this Order against a defendant purporting to have been served by post under Order 6, Rule 3(2) the copy of the civil bill sent to the defendant is returned to the plaintiff through the post undelivered to the addressee, the plaintiff shall, before taking any step or further step in the proceedings or the enforcement of the judgment, either— a make a request for the judgment to be set aside on the ground that the civil bill has not been duly served, or b apply to the district judge for directions. 4 A request under paragraph (3)(a) shall be made by lodging with the chief clerk an affidavit stating the relevant facts, and thereupon the judgment shall be set aside and the record of the entry of the judgment and of any proceedings for its enforcement shall be marked by the chief clerk accordingly. 5 An application under paragraph (3)(b) shall be made ex parte by affidavit stating the facts on which the application is founded and any order or direction sought, and on the application the district judge may— a set aside the judgment; or b direct that, notwithstanding the return of the copy of the civil bill, it shall be treated as having been duly served, or c make such other order and give such other direction as the circumstances may require. 81Where the defendant is a State, as defined in section 14 of the State Immunity Act 1978 (“the Act”), the plaintiff shall not be entitled to enter judgment under this Order except with the leave of the district judge.2An application for leave to enter judgment shall be supported by an affidavit—astating the grounds of the application,bverifying the facts relied on as excepting the State from the immunity conferred by section 1 of the Act, andcverifying that the civil bill has been served by being transmitted through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State, or in such other manner as may have been agreed to by the State, and that the time for serving a notice of intention to defend, as extended by section 12(2) of the Act (by two months) where applicable, has expired.3The application may be made ex parte but the district judge hearing the application may direct an application to be issued and served on that State, for which purpose such a direction shall include leave to serve the application and a copy of the affidavit out of the jurisdiction.4Unless the district judge otherwise directs, an affidavit for the purpose of this Rule may contain statements of information or belief with the sources and grounds thereof, and the grant of leave to enter judgment under this Order shall include leave to serve out of the jurisdiction—aa copy of the judgment, andba copy of the affidavit, where not already served.5The procedure for effecting service out of the jurisdiction pursuant to leave granted in accordance with this Rule shall be the same as for the service of the civil bill under Order 6A, rule 6(6), except where section 12(6) of the Act applies and an alternative method of service has been agreed. 9 1 Where a civil bill has been served out of the jurisdiction under Order 6A, rule 2(2) or has been served within the jurisdiction on a defendant domiciled in England and Wales or Scotland or in any other Convention territory the plaintiff shall not be entitled to enter judgment under this Order except with the leave of the district judge. 2 An application for leave to enter judgment may be made ex parte and shall be supported by an affidavit stating that in the deponent’s belief— a each claim made by the civil bill is one which by virtue of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 the judge or the district judge has power to hear and determine, b no other court has exclusive jurisdiction within the meaning of Schedule 1 or under Schedule 4 to that Act to hear and determine such claim, and c where the civi bill is served out of the jurisdiction under Order 6A, Rule 2(2), such service satisfied the requirements of Schedule 1 or, as the case may require, of Article 20 of Schedule 4 to that Act. and giving in each case the sources and grounds of such belief. 3 For the purposes of this rule, domicile is to be determined in accordance with the provisions of section 41 to 46 of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 and “Convention territory” means the territory or territories of any Contracting State, as defined by section 1(3) of that Act, to which the Conventions as defined in section 1(1) of that Act apply. 10 1 A party entitled to judgment in default of service of a notice of intention to defend may enter judgment by lodging with the chief clerk the following documents— a the original civil bill by which the proceedings were commenced;

or b for the appointment of a receiver; or c for taking any accounts; or d for making any inquiries; he may apply to the judge or district judge on affidavit setting forth the facts rendering the order immediately necessary and the judge or district judge may make such order as he thinks fit. 2 Where a district judge makes an interim order under paragraph (1) above, the application must be brought before a judge within 7 days of that interim order being made.] 7 1 Where in any action the plaintiff claims the recovery of specific property other than land and the defendant admits the title of the plaintiff but claims to retain the property by virtue of a lien or otherwise as security for the payment of a sum of money, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may order than the plaintiff be at liberty to pay into court, to abide the event of the action, the sum of money in respect of which the defendant claims to retain the property and such further sum (if any) for interest and costs as [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may think fit, and may order that upon such payment into court the defendant shall return the property to the plaintiff. 2 This Rule shall with the necessary modifications apply to a counterclaim as it applies to a claim. 8 Where a prima facie case of liability under any contract is established, and there is alleged, as a matter of defence, a right to be relieved wholly or partially from that liability, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may make an order for the preservation or interim custody of the subject-matter of the action or may order that the amount in dispute be bought into court or otherwise secured. 9 1 [ The judge] may, upon the application of any party to an action or matter, make any order for the detention, preservation, inspection, surveying, measuring, weighing or analysing of any property, document or thing, being the subject of the action or matter or as to which any question may arise therein, and may authorise any person to enter upon or into any land or building in the possession of any party to the action or matter, and authorise any samples to be taken, or any observation, plan, photograph or model to be made, or copy of a document or experiment to be made, which may be necessary or expedient for the purpose of obtaining full information or evidence. 2 Where an order is made for inspecting, surveying, measuring, weighing or analysing any property or making any copy of experiment, or taking any sample, or making any plan, photograph or model, by any person named in the order, the order may authorise the [ district judge] to examine upon oath and take the deposition of the person so named as to the result, accuracy or fairness of what he has done in pursuance of the order, and may also empower any party to give in evidence the deposition so taken. 10 [ The judge or district judge as the case may be] may, upon the application of any party to an action or matter, order the sale by a person to be named in the order, of any subject-matter of the proceedings which— a is of a perishable nature; or b incurs charges for food or keep; or c ought for any other sufficient reason to be sold at once. 10A 1 An application for an order— a under Article 42A(1) of the Order in respect of property which may become the subject matter of subsequent proceedings in a county court or as to which any question may arise in any such proceedings, or b under Article 42B(3) of the Order in respect of property which is not the property of or in the possession of any party to the proceedings, shall be made by notice in writing in Form 70A and the person against whom the order is sought shall be respondent to the application. 2 The notice shall be filed with the chief clerk and shall be served on the respondent, and in the case of an application under Article 42B(3) on the parties to the proceedings at least 7 days before the date fixed for hearing. 3 The notice shall be supported by an affidavit which must specify or describe the property in respect of which the order is sought and show, if practicable by reference to any civil bill (or other originating process) served or intended to be served in the proceedings or subsequent proceedings, that it is property which is or may become the subject matter of the proceedings or as to which any question arise or may arise in the proceedings. 4 A copy of the supporting affidavit shall be served with the notice on every person on whom, the notice is required to be served. 5 An order made under Article 42A(1) or 42B(3) may be made conditional on the applicant giving security for the costs of the person against whom it is made or on such other terms, if any as the court thinks just. 6 No such order shall be made if it appears to the court— a that compliance with the order, if made, would result in the disclosure of information relating to a secret process, discovery or invention not in issue in the proceedings and; b that the application would have been refused on that ground if— i in the case of an application under Article 42A(1), the subsequent proceedings had already been begun, or ii in the case of an application under Article 42B(3) the person against whom the order is sought were a party to the proceedings]. 10B. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 1 A draft of an order under [ Rule 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 10A] shall be prepared by the party making the application and shall be settled, signed and sealed by the chief clerk or, where the order is made by [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] of his own motion, the chief clerk shall prepare, sign and seal the order. 2 The order when signed and sealed shall be filed by the chief clerk who shall issue a certified copy to the applicant or his solicitor for service. [ PART II 12 In this Part of this Order— a “an ADR process” means mediation, conciliation or another dispute resolution process approved by [ the judge], but does not include arbitration; b “[ judge]” includes District [ judge]; and c “party” includes the personal representative of a deceased party. 13 1 Without prejudice to rule 4, [ the judge], on the application of any of the parties or of his own motion, may, when [ the judge] considers it appropriate and having regard to all the circumstances of the case, order that proceedings or any issue therein be adjourned for such time as [ the judge] considers just and convenient and— a invite the parties to use an ADR process to settle or determine the proceedings or issue; or b where the parties consent, refer the proceedings or issue to such process, and may, for the purposes of such invitation or reference, invite the parties to attend such information session on the use of mediation, if any, as [ the judge] may specify. 2 Where the parties decide to use an ADR process, [ the judge] may make an order extending the time for compliance by any party with any provision of these Rules or any order of [ the judge] in the proceedings, and may make such further or other orders or give such directions as [ the judge] considers will facilitate the effective use of that process. 14 An application by a party for an order under rule 13 shall be made by notice of motion and shall, unless [ the judge] otherwise orders, be supported by an affidavit. 15 Save where [ the judge] for special reason to be stated in [(a) the judge’s] order allows, an application for an order under rule 13 shall not be made later than 56 days before the date on which the proceedings are first listed for hearing.] ORDER 15 1 1 Within 14 days of further particulars being furnished in accordance with Order 5 rule 3(2) there shall, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Order, be discovery by any party to any proceedings of the documents which are or have been in their possession, custody or power relating to any matter in question in the proceedings. 2 Nothing in this Order shall be taken as preventing the parties agreeing to dispense with or limit the discovery of documents which they would otherwise be required to make to each other. 2A Subject to the provisions of this rule, the parties to proceedings must make discovery by exchanging lists of documents in Form 68 which are or have been in his possession, custody or power relating to any matter in question between them in the proceedings. 2B Without prejudice to any directions given by the district judge under Order 11 rule 2B, paragraph (2A) shall not apply in third party proceedings, including proceedings under that Order involving fourth or subsequent parties. 2C Unless the chief clerk, judge or district judge otherwise orders, in any proceedings where liability is admitted or where the proceedings arise out of an accident on land due to a collision or apprehended collision involving a vehicle, discovery shall be limited to disclosure of any documents in relation to special damage. 2D Paragraph (2A) shall not be taken as requiring a defendant in proceedings for the recovery of any penalty recoverable by virtue of any enactment to make discovery of any documents. 2E Paragraphs (2C) and (2D) shall apply in relation to a counterclaim as they apply in relation to any proceedings. 2F On the application to the chief clerk of any party required by this rule to make discovery of documents, the chief clerk, or where the application has been referred to the judge or district judge in chambers, the judge or district judge may— a order that the parties to the action or any of them shall make discovery under paragraph (2A) of such documents or classes of documents only, or as to such only of the matters in question, as may be specified in the order; or b if satisfied that discovery by all or any of the parties is not necessary, or not necessary at that stage of the action, order that there shall be no discovery of documents by any or all of the parties either at all or at that stage; and the chief clerk, judge or district judge shall make such an order and so far as he is of the opinion that discovery is not necessary either for disposing fairly of the proceedings or for saving costs. 2G An application for an order under paragraph (2F) may be made to the chief clerk ex parte without notice and before the expiration of the period within which, by virtue of this rule, discovery of documents in the action is required to be made. 3 If any party fails to comply with paragraphs (1) and (2A) the other party may apply to the chief clerk ex parte without notice for an order directing the other party to make discovery.] [ . . .] 5 On the receipt of an application [ under paragraph (3)] the chief clerk may: a make an order directing the other party to make discovery; or b refer the application to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] in chambers. 6 The chief clerk, or where the application has been referred to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] in chambers, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may order discovery in Form 68 to be verified by affidavit in Form 68C and made either generally or limited to certain classes of documents as he thinks fit, but discovery shall not be ordered if and so far as it appears that it is not necessary either for disposing fairly of the proceedings or for saving costs. 7 The chief clerk shall notify the applicant of the outcome of his application. 8 If an order for discovery is made it shall be drawn up by the chief clerk in Form 69, and served by the applicant on the party against whom it is made. 9 Any party to the proceedings may on giving at least five days’ notice in writing to the other party, appeal to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] against a decision of the chief clerk to make an order directing discovery, and pending the outcome of the appeal the order made by the chief clerk shall be stayed. [ . . .] 11 Any order made under this Order (including an order made on appeal) may on sufficient cause being shown be revoked or varied by a subsequent order or direction of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] made or given at or before the trial of the cause or matter in connection with which the original order was made. 12 A party who has provided a list of documents in compliance with this rule must allow the other party to inspect the documents included in Part I of Schedule 1 to, such list and to take copies thereof. 13 Without prejudice to Rule 9, a party who has provided a list of documents in compliance with this rule, shall not afterwards be at liberty to put in evidence any document not included in Part I of Schedule 1 to such list unless he satisfies [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] that he had some cause or excuse which [the judge or district judge as the case may be] deems sufficient for not including such document, in which case [) the judge or district judge as the case may be] may allow the document to be put in evidence on such terms as to costs or otherwise, as he thinks fit.] 2 1 Any party to any proceedings may at any time give to the other party notice to produce any document in his possession, [ custody] or power which is relevant to the issues, [ and which has not been discovered under Rule 1], for the inspection of the party giving the notice and to permit him to take copies thereof. 2 Any party not complying with such a notice shall not afterwards be at liberty to put any such document in evidence unless he satisfies [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] that he had some cause or excuse which [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] deems sufficient for not complying with the notice, in which case [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may allow the document to be put in evidence on such terms as to costs and otherwise as he thinks fit. 3 The party to whom such notice is given shall [ . . .] within four days from the receipt of the notice, deliver to the party giving the same a notice stating a time within three days from the delivery thereof and the place at which the document or such of them as he does not objected produce may be inspected and stating which if any, of the documents he objects to produce and on what grounds. 4 The inspection shall be given— a where a party is not acting by his solicitor, at his residence or place of business; or b where a party is acting by a solicitor, at the solicitor’s address for service; but inspection of bankers’ books or other books of account or books in constant use for the purposes of any trade or business shall be given at their usual place of custody. 5 If any party served with a notice under paragraph (1) omits to give notice of a time and place for inspection in accordance with paragraphs (3) and (4), [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may on application make an order for inspection at such time and place as he thinks fit. 6 An application to inspect documents [ . . .] shall be supported by an affidavit showing— a of what documents inspection is sought; b the grounds on which inspection of them is sought; and c that they are in the possession or power of the other party; but [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] shall not make an order for inspection if and so far as he is of opinion that it is not necessary either for disposing fairly of the proceedings or for saving costs. 3 1 Where inspection of any business books is applied for, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may, if he thinks fit, instead of ordering inspection of the original books, order a copy of any entries therein to be furnished and verified by the affidavit of some person; who has examined the copy with the original entries, and the affidavit shall state whether or not there are in the original book any and if so what erasures, interlineations or alterations. 2 Notwithstanding that a copy has been supplied under paragraph (1), [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may order inspection or production of the book from which the copy was made. 4 Where privilege is claimed for any document, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may inspect the document for the purpose of deciding whether the claim of privilege is valid. 5 1 [The judge or district judge as the case may be] may, on the application of any party to proceedings at any time and whether [ a list of] documents has or has not already been ordered or made, make an order requiring any other party to state by affidavit whether any particular document or class of documents, specified or indicated in the application, is or has at any time been in his possession, custody or power, and if not then in his possession, custody or power, when he parted with the document or documents and what has become of it or them. 2 The application shall be supported by affidavit stating that in the belief of the deponent, the party against whom the application is made has, or at some time has had, possession, custody or power of the particular document or class of documents specified or, indicated in the application, and that it relates to a matter in question in the proceedings. 5A 1 An application for an order a under Article 42A(2) of the Order for the disclosure of documents before the commencement of proceedings; or b under Article 42B(2) of the Order for the disclosure of documents by a person who is not party to the proceedings, shall be made by notice in writing in Form 68D and the person against whom the order is sought shall be the respondent to the application. 2 The notice shall be filed with the chief clerk and shall be served on the respondent and in the case of an application under Article 42B(2) on the parties to the proceedings at least 7 days before the date fixed for hearing. 3 The notice shall be supported by an affidavit which must— a in the case of an application under Article 42A(2) state the grounds on which it is alleged that the applicant and the respondent are likely to be parties to subsequent proceedings in the court in which a claim in respect of personal injuries is likely to be made; b in any case, specify or describe the documents in respect of which the order is sought and how, if practicable by reference to any civil bill (or other originating summons) served or intended to be served in the proceedings, that the documents are relevant to an issue arising or likely to arise out of a claim for personal injuries made or likely to be made in the proceedings and that the person against whom the order is sought is likely to have or have had them in his possession, custody or power. 4 A copy of the supporting affidavit shall be served with the notice on every person on whom the notice is required to be served. 5 An order under the said Article 42A(2) or 42B(2) for the disclosure of documents shall be in Form 68E; and a may be made conditional on the applicant giving security for the costs of the person against whom it is made or on such other terms, if any, as the court thinks just; b shall require the person against whom the order is made to make an affidavit stating whether any documents specified or described in the order are, or at any time have been in his possession, custody or power and if not then in his possession, custody or power, when he parted with them and what has become of them. 6 No person shall be compelled by virtue of such an order to produce any documents which he could not be compelled to produce a in the case of an application under Article 42A(2), if the subsequent proceedings had already been begun; or b in the case of an application under Article 42B(2) if he had been served with a writ of subpoena duces tecum to produce the documents at trial. 7 In this rule “a claim for personal injuries” means a claim in respect of personal injuries to a person or in respect of a person’s death.] 6 [ The judge or district judge as the case may be] may postpone any application for discovery or inspection of documents until after the determination of any issue or question in dispute. 7 1 A party making application for discovery of documents may be ordered to pay into court as security such sum as [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] thinks fit. 2 An order for discovery shall state the amount ordered to be paid into court, or that payment into court is dispensed with and, where payment into court is ordered, the party seeking discovery shall within the order for discovery serve a copy of the receipt for the payment into court, and the party from whom discovery is sought shall not be bound to make discovery unless and until the said copy has been served. 8 [ The judge or district judge as the case may be] may at any stage of the proceedings order the production upon oath by any party thereto of any documents in his possession, custody or power, relating to any question in the proceedings, and [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may deal with the documents when produced in such manner as he considers just. 9 Where an order for discovery, inspection or production of documents is not complied with, [ then [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may make such order as he thinks just, including, in particular, an order that the proceedings be dismissed or, as the case may be, an order that the notice of intention to defend be struck out and judgment be entered accordingly.] 10 No outlay or fees incurred or paid by any party on or in connection with any proceedings under this Order shall be repaid to that party by any other party to the proceedings unless [ the judge or district judge as the case may be]— a is satisfied that in the circumstances of the case it was necessary or expedient to invoke the provisions of this Order; and b makes an order requiring such repayment. 11 This order shall apply to minor plaintiffs and defendants and their next friends and guardians ad litem. [ PART II 12 1 Any party to any proceedings may in accordance with the following provisions of this Part serve on any other party interrogatories relating to any matter in question between the applicant and that other party in the proceedings which are necessary either— a for disposing fairly of the proceedings; or b for saving costs. 2 Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph (1), a party may apply to the judge or district judge as the case may be on notice for an order giving him leave to serve on any other party interrogatories relating to any matter in question between the applicant and that other party in the proceedings. 3 A proposed interrogatory which does not relate to such a matter as is mentioned in paragraph (1) shall be disallowed notwithstanding that it might be admissible in oral cross-examination of a witness. 4 Interrogatories shall be answered on affidavit (unless the judge or district judge directs otherwise) and the affidavit shall be delivered to the applicant within the time specified in the— a interrogatories (not being less than 21 days from the date of service); or b order. 5 In this Part— “interrogatories without order” means interrogatories served under paragraph (1); “ordered interrogatories” means interrogatories served under paragraph (2) or interrogatories which are required to be answered pursuant to an order made on an application under rule 12A(2) and, where such an order is made, the interrogatories shall not, unless the judge or district judge orders otherwise, be treated as interrogatories without order for the purposes of rule 12A(1). 6 Unless the context otherwise requires, the provisions of this Part apply to both interrogatories without order and ordered interrogatories.] 12A 1 Interrogatories without order may be served on a party not more than twice. 2 A party on whom interrogatories without order are served may, within 14 days of service of the interrogatories, apply to the judge or district judge for the interrogatories to be varied or withdrawn and, on any such application, the judge or district judge may make such order as he thinks fit (including an order that the party who served the interrogatories shall not serve further interrogatories without order). 3 Interrogatories without order shall not be served on the Crown. 12B 1 Where an application is made for leave to serve interrogatories, a copy of the proposed interrogatories shall be served with the notice of application and filed in the Office before the beginning of a period of two days ending on the day of hearing of the application. 2 In deciding whether to give leave to serve interrogatories the judge or district judge shall take into account any offer made by the party to be interrogated to give particulars or to make admissions or to produce documents relating to any matter in question and whether or not interrogatories without order have been administered. 3 If an order is made granting leave to serve interrogatories it shall be drawn up by the applicant in Form 69A and shall be signed and sealed by the chief clerk who shall file the order and issue a certificate copy to the applicant or his solicitor for service.] 13 Where a party to any proceedings is a body of persons, whether corporate or unincorporate, being a body which is empowered by law to, sue or be sued whether in its own name or in the name of any officer or other person, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may, on the application of any other party, make an order allowing him to serve interrogatories on such officer or member of the body as may be specified in the order. 14 Where interrogatories are to be served on two or more parties or are required to be answered by an agent or servant of a party, a note at the end of the interrogatories shall state which of the interrogatories each party or, as the case may be, an agent or servant is required to answer, and which agent or servant. 15 Where a person objects to answering any interrogatory on the ground of privilege he may take the objection in his affidavit in answer. 16 If any person on whom interrogatories have been served answers any of them insufficiently, [the judge or district judge as the case may be] may on application make an order requiring him to make a further answer, and either by affidavit or on oral examination as [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may direct. 17Where a party—aagainst whom an order is made under Rule 12 or Rule 16; orbon whom interrogatories without order have been served,fails to comply with Rule 12(4), the judge or district judge, as the case may be, may make such order as he thinks just including, in particular, an order that the action be dismissed or, as the case may be, an order that the notice of intention to defend be struck out and judgment entered accordingly. 18 A party may put in evidence at the trial of the proceedings, or of any issue therein, some only of the answers to interrogatories, or part only of such an answer, without putting in evidence the other answers or, as the case may be, the whole of that answer, but [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may look at the whole of the answers and if of the opinion that any other answer or other part of an answer is so connected with an answer or part thereof used in evidence that the one ought not to be so used without the other, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may direct that that other answer or part shall be put in evidence.] ORDER 16 1 [ The judge or district judge as the case may be] may sit in chambers at any time and place and before, at or after the ordinary sittings of his court for the despatch of such part of the jurisdiction of his court as can without detriment to the public interest be heard in chambers, or for such matters as [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] shall from time to time think may be more conveniently disposed of in chambers than in open court. 2 1 [ The judge or district judge as the case may be] may when sitting in open court adjourn for consideration in chambers any matter which in his opinion would be more conveniently disposed of in chambers. 2 [ The judge or district judge as the case may be] may when sitting in chambers direct any matter to be heard in open court which he thinks ought to be so heard. 3 Unless otherwise provided, every application at chambers not made ex parte shall be made by summons in Form 70. ORDER 17PART I 1 1 An order under Article 32 of the Order for the reference of any proceeding or question or matter of account to the [ district judge] or other officer (in this Order referred to as “the officer”) for inquiry or report may be made at any stage of the proceedings by [ the judge] of his own motion or on the application of any of the parties. 2 In making an order for such a reference, [ the judge] may give all such directions as he thinks fit as to the time and place of the sittings thereof, notices to the parties affected thereby, the summoning of witnesses and the time and place for the consideration of the report thereon. 2 1 Subject to any order of [ the judge] as to the conduct of the reference— a the officer shall hear any parties entitled to attend, and their counsel or solicitors; b the officer may inspect any property or thing concerning which any question arises; c the attendance of witnesses may be enforced by summons and the inquiry shall be conducted in the same manner, as nearly as circumstances permit, as if the inquiry were the hearing of an action; d subject to the provisions of paragraph (3), the officer shall have the powers of a judge with respect to the administration of oaths, taking of affidavits, discovery and production of documents and in the conduct of the inquiry; e the officer may submit or may direct any of the parties to submit for the decision of [ the judge] any question arising in the inquiry. 2 Where a matter of account is referred to the officer, the officer, in addition to any powers conferred by paragraph (1), may— a direct any accounting party to make out and furnish his account within a time to be stated; b give directions as to the manner in which the account is to be taken or the inquiry made and as to the bringing of all necessary parties before the court; c direct and settle advertisements to be published for creditors or persons having or claiming an interest in the subject-matter of the proceedings; d direct that any books of account, in which any account required to be taken has been kept, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the matter therein contained; e fix a time for adjudicating on claims; f give such other directions as he may think proper. 3 Nothing in this Rule shall authorise the officer to commit any person to prison, or to enforce any order by attachment. 3 [ The judge] may direct that any of the provisions of Part II which he considers appropriate shall apply to any particular reference under this Part. PART II 4 A primary decree in equity proceedings directing accounts to be taken or inquiries to be made shall be in such one of Forms 71 to 79 as is applicable to the case. 5 Unless [ the judge] otherwise orders, every order for a general account of the estate of a deceased person shall direct an inquiry as to what parts (if any) of such estate are outstanding or undisposed of. 6 1 Where a primary decree in equity proceedings directs that an account be taken or inquiries made— a the account shall be taken and the inquiries shall be made by the [ district judge] (in this Part referred to as “the officer”);

b where necessary to prevent proceedings by other persons, may make an order with a proviso that no proceedings are to be taken thereunder without leave of [ the judge]. 14 In this Part “claimant” includes creditor and person having or claiming an interest in the subject-matter of the proceedings. ORDER 18 1 Where before, at or after the hearing of any proceedings it appears to [ the judge] expedient that a receiver be appointed, such appointment may be made by [ the judge] of his own motion or on the application of a party. 2 Every receiver other than an officer of the court shall, unless otherwise ordered, give such security to the [ district judge] for the faithful discharge of his duties, and the payment over of money, as [ the judge] shall direct. 3 Every receiver shall receive such reasonable remuneration as [ the judge] may authorise. 4 1 Every receiver shall deliver at the Office for examination by the district judge such accounts at such time or times as [ the judge] or [ district judge] may direct. 2 Where the duties of a receiver are continuous, no longer period than one year shall in any case be allowed between each examination of accounts. 3 Every such account shall, unless otherwise ordered, be verified by affidavit. 4 When any such account has been delivered, the chief clerk shall fix a time for the passing of the account and shall give notice thereof to the receiver and to the parties. 5 At the time appointed for the passing of the account, the-receiver and any party may, and if required by the [ district judge] shall, attend at the Office and the [ district judge] may require the receiver to produce any vouchers necessary for verifying the account and may disallow any item not proved to his satisfaction. 6 The [ district judge] shall after examining the account make and sign a certificate stating the result of the examination. 7 The receiver or any person dissatisfied with the allowance or disallowance by the [ district judge] of any item in the account may within eight days from receiving notice of the signing of the certificate under Rule 6 apply to [ the judge] on notice for a review of the decision of the [ district judge], and the judge may make such order on the application as he thinks fit. 8 [ The judge] may order the receiver— a to pay from time to time out of any sums that may be in or come into his hands the head rents or other outgoings payable in respect of, and the interest upon, any mortgages or other charges upon any lands over which he is acting as receiver; b to pay over at any time to the party entitled to the beneficial interest or to the guardian of any minor any accruing rents or interest instead of paying them into court; and may authorise the receiver to take credit for such payments in his accounts. 9 Any balance certified to be due from the receiver shall, subject to any direction given by [ the judge] on review under Rule 7, be paid into court within fourteen days from the date of the certificate of the [ district judge]. 10 Where any receiver has failed to deliver or pass any account or to make any payment certified to be due from him, [ the judge] may require the receiver to attend before him to show cause why such default has been made and may make such order as he thinks fit, including an order for enforcing any bond or security given by the receiver, and a direction to charge the receiver with interest at five per centum per annum on any balance which has remained in his hands for more than fourteen days from the date on which it was certified to be due, or [ the judge] may discharge the receiver and appoint another, and may make such order as to costs as he thinks just. ORDER 19 1 A party who desires a person of skill and experience in the matter to which the proceedings relate to be appointed as an assessor to assist [ the judge] shall, before the beginning of a period of eleven days ending on the day fixed for the hearing, on notice to the other party lodge in the Office an application together with the amount of the assessor’s fee, and thereupon the chief clerk shall send a copy of the application to [ the judge]. 2 1 Before giving his decision on the application, [ the judge] may hear both parties. 2 If [ the judge] grants the application, the chief clerk shall give notice to the parties and shall appoint such person who is willing to act as may be agreed upon by the parties or in default of agreement as may be specified by [ the judge]. 3 If the application is refused, the chief clerk shall so inform the parties. 4 If at the time and place appointed for the hearing the assessor appointed does not attend, [ the judge] may hear the action or matter without his assistance. 5Every assessor shall receive for each half day’s attendance a fee of £43.00 together with such sum for his expenses as the judge or district judge may order.] 6 Where a hearing at which an assessor is in attendance is adjourned, the, party who applied for the appointment of an assessor shall forthwith upon the order of adjournment being made deposit in the Office the assessor’s fee for the day to which the hearing is adjourned. 7 Any sum paid in respect of assessor’s fees shall be costs in the proceedings, unless the judge otherwise orders. 8 This Order shall not apply to an appeal under section 28 of the Pilotage Act 1913. ORDER 20 1 Where proceedings are, in accordance with Article 31 of the Order, ordered to be referred to arbitration, the chief clerk shall cause the order to be forthwith lodged with the arbitrator thereby appointed who shall within fourteen days thereafter fix the date of the hearing after consultation with the parties or their solicitors. 2 Every such reference shall be conducted as nearly as may be in the same manner and in accordance with the same rules and practice as a hearing by a [ judge]. 3 Where original deeds or documents are available, copies shall be brought in only by special direction of the arbitrator. 4 The arbitrator may hold the hearing at or adjourn it to any place which he may deem most convenient and may have any inspection or view which he may deem expedient for the better disposal of the matter before him. 5 The arbitrator to whom any cause or matter or any question or issue of fact arising therein has been referred may by his report submit any question arising out of the reference for the decision of [ the judge] or state any facts specially with power to [ the judge] to draw inferences therefrom, and in any such case such order shall be made on the submission or statement as [ the judge] may direct; and [ the judge] shall have power to require any explanations or reasons from the arbitrator, and to remit the cause or matter or any part thereof for further consideration to the same or to any other arbitrator; or [ the judge] may decide the question referred to any arbitrator on the evidence taken at the hearing under such reference either with or without additional evidence as [ the judge] may direct. 6 The expenses of witnesses shall be measured by the arbitrator, as nearly as possible in accordance with the scales prevailing in the court from which the arbitration is referred and such expenses shall be set forth in the award and shall be subject to review by [ the judge].

b in which only unliquidated damages are claimed; but does not apply to any proceedings in which any of the parties is a litigant in person or in which money or damages are claimed by or on behalf of or for the benefit of a minor or patient suing either alone or in conjunction with other parties. 2 In any proceedings to which this rule applies, if all the parties consent, a solicitor for any of the parties may at any time up to the hearing make application in Form 98A on behalf of his client to the chief clerk to have entered in the order book of the court a settlement reached by the parties in those proceedings. 3 An application in Form 98A shall be signed by the solicitors retained by each of the parties to the proceedings. 4 An application in Form 98A shall state— a the title to the proceedings;

witnesses who may be called by any party to give oral evidence in any proceedings shall be limited to two medical experts and one expert of any other kind.] 2D 1 For the purposes of this rule— a “clinical negligence” means negligence in connection with the diagnosis of any illness, or the care or treatment of any patient, in consequence of any act or omission to act by a person employed or engaged for such purposes; and b “medical evidence” means— i the evidence contained in any medical report or other accompanying or supplemental document emanating from the maker of the report which is intended by him to accompany or supplement such report and includes surgical and radiological evidence and any ancillary expert or technical evidence; and ii any other evidence of a medical, surgical or radiological nature which a party proposes to adduce at the trial by means of oral testimony. 2 In actions grounded on an allegation of clinical negligence— a where the plaintiff proposes to adduce at the hearing evidence (other than medical evidence) obtained from any expert for the purpose of assisting the judge or district judge as the case may be in assessing damages, he shall— i insofar as he then has in his possession or power that evidence, disclose it to the other party or parties within 14 days after service upon him of the defendant’s notice of intention to defend; and ii insofar as he thereafter obtains any such evidence before the date of hearing, disclose it to the defendant and any other party or parties within 21 days of receiving it and in any case before the hearing.] 3 Evidence in support of or in opposition to a petition may be by affidavit unless [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] otherwise directs. 4 1 Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may at any time order that— a any particular fact or facts may be proved by affidavit; or b the affidavit of any witness may be read at the hearing on such conditions as [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] thinks reasonable; or c any witness whose attendance in court ought for some sufficient cause to be dispensed with be examined by interrogatories or before an examiner. 2 Where it appears to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] that any party bona fide desires the production of a witness for cross-examination and that the witness can without undue expense be produced, an order shall not be made authorising his evidence to be given by affidavit. 3 Nothing in any order made under paragraph (1) shall affect the power of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] at the hearing to refuse to admit evidence tendered in accordance with any such order if in the interests of justice he thinks fit to do so. 5 Where a party desires to use at the hearing an affidavit by any witness as to particular facts as to which no order has been made, he may, before the beginning of a period of six days ending on the day of the hearing, give notice, accompanied by a copy of the affidavit, to the party against whom it is to be used, and unless the last mentioned party, before the beginning of a period of three days ending on the day of the hearing, gives notice to the other party that he objects to the use of the affidavit, he shall be taken to have consented to the use thereof and the affidavit may be used at the bearing unless [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] otherwise orders. 6 Where an affidavit or deposition is used in evidence by or on behalf of a party, the whole affidavit or deposition shall be put in by that party. 7 In an action for libel or slander, the defendant shall not, without leave of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be], give evidence in chief, with a view to mitigation of damages, as to the circumstances in which the libel or slander was published or as to the character of the plaintiff, unless before the beginning of a period of seven days ending on the day of the hearing he furnishes particulars to the plaintiff of the matters as to which he intends to give evidence. 8 1 Any party to proceedings who intends, in reliance on section 7 or 8 of the Civil Evidence Act (Northern Ireland) 1971, to adduce evidence of a conviction, finding of adultery or an adjudication of paternity shall serve on every party to the proceedings notice in Form 118 of such intention with particulars of— a the conviction, finding or adjudication and the date thereof; b the court or court-martial which made the conviction, finding or adjudication; and c the issue in the proceedings to which the conviction, finding or adjudication is relevant. 2 Where the plaintiff or any party initiating proceedings serves such notice he shall annex it to the civil bill or other process and to any copy served on any other party. 3 Where a defendant or party other than the plaintiff or a party initiating the proceedings serves such notice, it shall be served within ten days of service of the civil bill or other process upon him. 4 If a party upon whom notice is served under this Rule— a denies the conviction, finding or adjudication; or b alleges that it was erroneous; or c denies that it is relevant to any issue in the action; he shall, within ten days of service of the notice, serve a counter-notice in Form 119 on the party by whom the notice was served and on any other party to the proceedings. 5 Nothing in this Rule shall apply to evidence intended solely to impeach the credit of a party or witness and which is not otherwise relevant to any issue in the proceedings. 91Subject to paragraph (2), where any party to any action or other proceedings desires a person to be summoned as a witness to give oral evidence at the hearing in court or to produce at the hearing in court a document in his possession or control, a chief clerk ..., or other officer of the court authorised by him for the purpose, shall, on the application of the party, issue a witness summons in Form 110 together with a copy thereof.2Where the chief clerk has reason to believe that any application for a witness summons, not being an application by a party through his solicitor, is frivolous or vexatious, he may refer the application to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] and [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may thereupon direct the issue of the summons or otherwise deal with the matter as to him seems just.3The applicant shall, if the chief clerk or other such officer as aforesaid so requests, produce the civil bill or other originating process.4Each original summons shall bear a stamp of the prescribed amount and each such summons and each copy thereof shall be entitled as in the civil bill or other originating process to which it relates and shall contain the name of one witness only but, where the application is made by a party through his solicitor, may as regards the name of the witness be issued in blank.5Unless [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] otherwise directs, the summons shall, a reasonably time before the day fixed for the hearing, be served by the delivery of a copy thereof to the witness personally by—aa process server for the district in which the witness resides; orbthe solicitor for the party issuing the summons or a solicitor acting as an agent for such solicitor or some person over sixteen years of age employed by either solicitor to serve the document.6Where the summons is to be served by a process server, any money to be paid or tendered under paragraph (7) shall be sent to him together with the summons and the copy thereof.7a Subject to sub-paragraph (b) there shall be paid or tendered to the witness at the time of service of the summons [ the fee set out in paragraph (7A)] for a police officer or [ . . .] for any other person and, in addition, a sum reasonably sufficient to cover his expenses in travelling to and from the court,bin proceedings under Rule 4 or 5 of the Order 40 there shall be paid or tendered to the defendant at the time of service of the summons a sum reasonably sufficient, to cover his expenses in travelling to and from the court.]7AThe sum to be paid or tendered under paragraph (7)(a) to—aa police officer is £17.00; andbany other person is £23.00.8The endorsement of service of a witness summons shall be in Form 111. 10 1 The application for an order under Article 44 of the Order for bringing up before a court any person confined in any prison or place under any sentence or under commitment for trial or otherwise to be examined as a witness in any proceedings pending in a county court may be made at any time to the Office. 2 The order shall be in Form 112. 11 1 Any party may by notice in Form 113 call on any one or more than one of the opposite parties to admit, for the purpose of the action only, any specified facts mentioned in the notice. 2 If the party served with the notice does not admit the facts mentioned in the notice by delivering a written admission thereof in Form 114 within three days after receiving the notice, he shall pay the costs of proving such facts, irrespective of the result of the action or matter, unless [ the judge or district judge as the case maybe] otherwise orders. Provided that— a any admission made in pursuance of the notice shall be used only for the purposes of the particular action or matter, and shall not be used against the party making it on any other occasion, or in favour of any person other than the party to whom it is made; and b [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may for good and sufficient cause and on such terms as to him seem just at any time allow any party to amend or withdraw any admission so made. 12 1 Where a party desires to adduce any document in evidence, he may, before the beginning of a period of six days ending on the day of the hearing, give notice to any other party who is competent to make admissions requiring him to inspect and admit the document. 2 The expenses of proving any document shall not be allowed unless such notice has been given, except in cases where, in the opinion of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] at the hearing, the omission to give notice has not substantially increased the expense. 13 A notice to produce documents may be in Form 115. 14 An affidavit of a party or his solicitor, or some person in the employment of such solicitor, or his solicitor agent of the service of a notice to admit or produce and of the time when it was served, together with a copy of the notice to admit or produce, shall be sufficient evidence of the fact and time of service. 15 1 Where a document which would, if duly proved, be admissible in evidence, is produced to the court from proper custody, it shall be admitted without further proof if— a in the opinion of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] it appears genuine; and b no objection is taken thereto; and, if the admission of any document so produced is objected to, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may adjourn the hearing for proof of the document and, if it is proved, the party objecting shall pay the costs occasioned by the objection, unless [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] otherwise orders. 2 In every proceedings before a county court, an office copy of any judgment decree or order made by or before any court in Northern Ireland and certified to be a true copy by the proper officer of such court shall be deemed and taken as prima facie evidence of such judgment, decree or order. 16 A copy of any entry in a book or other document prescribed for the purpose of keeping a record of or in relation to any proceedings in a county court shall for the purposes of Article 57 of the Order be authenticated by a certificate endorsed on the copy, which copy shall be signed by the chief clerk. 17 Without prejudice to any other enactment regarding proof of the valuation of lands, a copy or extract certified by the Commissioner of Valuation or an officer on his behalf to be a true copy of the latest [ capital value list or NAV list] relating to the hereditament shall, for the purposes of any proceedings in a county court, be sufficient proof of the valuation of such hereditament until the contrary is shown. 18 In any proceedings [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may, upon such terms as he may think proper, receive in evidence proof of the handwriting of any party or of any subscribing witness to any instrument whatsoever. 19 The practice with reference to the examination, cross-examination and re-examination of a witness at the hearing of an action shall extend and be applicable to oral evidence taken in any proceedings at any stage. 201[ The judge or district judge as the case may be] may, at any stage of any proceedings, make an order for the examination on oath of any person (in this Rule called “the witness”) at any place in Northern Ireland.2The examination may be ordered to take place before—aany officer of the court making the order; orbthe [ district judge] or chief clerk ...; orcin special circumstances such other person as [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may appoint.3The order may require the attendance of the witness—afor examination; orbto produce any document which he could be compelled to produce at the hearing of the proceedings.4The order shall be in Form 116 and shall be served on the witness personally a reasonable time before the day fixed for the examination and at the same time there shall be paid or tendered to the witness the sums prescribed by Rule 9(7).5The party on whose application the order was made shall furnish to the person taking the examination (in this Rule called “the examiner”) copies of all documents necessary to inform the examiner of the questions in issue between the parties.6The parties shall be at liberty to attend the examination with or without counsel or solicitors.7The examiner may administer an oath to the witness who may be examined, cross-examined and re-examined as at the hearing of an action.8The deposition shall be taken down in writing—aby or in the presence of the examiner; andbby question and answer.9The examiner may put any question to the witness as to the meaning of any answer or as to any matter arising in the course of the examination.10The examiner shall not have power to decide upon the materiality or relevancy of any question but, if a question is objected to, he shall take down the question and the answer thereto and make a note of the objection on the deposition.11if the witness objects to any question put to him before an examiner, the question and the objection shall be taken down by the examiner and the validity of the question shall be decided by [ the judge or district judge as the case may be].12If the witness refuses—ato attend; orbto be sworn; orcto answer any lawful question; ordto produce any document;a certificate of such refusal shall be made and signed by the examiner and filed in the Office, and the party requiring the attendance of the witness may apply to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] for an order directing the witness—ito attend; oriito be sworn; oriiito answer any question; orivto produce any document;as the case may be, and [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may thereupon make such order as he thinks fit.13The examiner may, and if need be shall, make a special report to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] touching the examination and the conduct or absence of the witness, and [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may thereupon direct such proceedings or make such order as he thinks fit.14When the examination of the witness has been concluded, the deposition shall be read over to the witness and shall be signed by him in the presence of such of the parties or their representatives as may attend, and shall be signed by the examiner and filed in, the Office.15If the witness refuses to sign the deposition, the examiner shall make a note of the refusal on the deposition, and the deposition shall be admissible in evidence notwithstanding that it is not signed by the witness.16The deposition shall not be admitted in evidence at the hearing unless—athe witness is dead or out of Northern Ireland or unable from sickness or other infirmity to attend the court; orbthe parties consent to its being admitted; orc[ the judge or district judge as the case may be] directs it to be put in;but, subject as aforesaid, the deposition shall be admissible in evidence, saving all just exceptions, without proof of the signature of the examiner.17Costs, fees and expenses pursuant to an order under this Rule shall be in the discretion of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] and shall be of such amount and payable by such party as [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] shall determine. 21 1 Subject to any Rule or Form to the contrary all affidavits shall— a be expressed in the first person; and b be drawn up in paragraphs and numbered; and c indicate that the deponent is at lease sixteen years of age; and d be made by some person who has knowledge of the facts, stating– i the deponent’s residence and occupation; and ii what facts are within his own knowledge, and his means of knowledge; and iii what facts are deposed to on information derived from other sources and what the sources are. 2 Where a party is a corporate body, and affidavit required or authorised by any enactment (including these Orders) to be made by that party may be made by a director, secretary or other officer authorised by the corporate body for that purpose. 3 In any affidavit made by two or more deponents the names of all the deponents shall be inserted in the jurat, but if the affidavit of all the deponents is sworn at one time before the same person, it shall be sufficient to state that it is sworn by both or all of the above-named deponents. 4 Every affidavit shall be intituled in the action or matter in which it is sworn and a note shall be appended to every affidavit stating on whose behalf it is filed, and the note shall be copied on every office or other copy furnished to a party. 5 An affidavit shall not be filed which has been sworn before a person who, when it was sworn, was a party to the proceedings, the solicitor acting for the party on whose behalf it is to be used, or such solicitor’s agent, partner or clerk. 6 Before any affidavit is used it shall be filed in the Office but in an urgent case [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may make a decree upon the undertaking of the party to file any affidavit used by him before it is filed, but the decree shall not be issued until the affidavit has been filed. 7 Where a party desires to cross-examine a deponent who has made an affidavit filed on behalf of the opposite party the following provisions shall apply— a he may serve on the opposite party a notice requiring the production of the deponent for cross-examination at the hearing; b if the party served with the notice does not produce the deponent at the hearing, he shall not be entitled to use the affidavit as evidence without leave of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be]; c a witness summons may be issued on the application of the party served with the notice for the purpose of summoning the deponent to attend for cross-examination. 8 Unless [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] otherwise orders, no affidavit shall be filed or used in any proceedings— a which is blotted so as to obliterate any word; or b which is illegibly written; or c which is so altered as to be illegible; or d which is so imperfect, by reason of having blanks therein or otherwise, that it cannot be easily read or understood; or e if there is any interlineation, alteration or erasure in the body of the affidavit or jurat, unless the person before whom the affidavit was sworn has initialled the interlineation or alteration, and in the case of an erasure has re-written and signed in the margin of the affidavit any words or figures written on the erasure. 9 Where the chief clerk refuses, under paragraph (8), to file an affidavit he shall give notice in Form 117 to the party presenting the affidavit for filing. 10 Where it appears to the person administering the oath that the deponent is illiterate or blind, he shall certify in the jurat that— a the affidavit was read in his presence to the deponent; and b the deponent seemed perfectly to understand it; and c the deponent made his signature or mark in his presence; and the affidavit shall not be used in evidence without such a certificate, unless [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] is otherwise satisfied that it was read over to and appeared to be perfectly understood by the deponent. 11 [ The judge or district judge as the case may be] may allow an affidavit to be used in evidence notwithstanding any defect by mis-description of parties or otherwise in the title or jurat or any other irregularity in the form of the affidavit. 12 An affidavit of service shall state when, where, how and by whom service was affected. 22 In any proceedings by or against the Crown, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may, where he thinks it necessary, make an order for the examination upon oath before an officer of the court or before any other person, and at any place, of any witness or person, and may empower any party to the proceedings to give such deposition in evidence therein on such terms (if any) as [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may direct. [ PART II 23 1 In this Part “hearsay evidence” means evidence consisting of hearsay within the meaning of Article 3(3) of the Civil Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 (NI 21) (in this rule referred to as “the 1997 Order”). 2 Expressions used in this Part and in the 1997 Order have the same meaning in this Part as they have in that Order. 3 This Part applies in relation to the trial or hearing of an issue or question arising in any civil proceedings, and to a reference, inquiry or assessment of damages, as it applies to the trial or hearing of any civil proceedings. 24 1 Where a party to civil proceedings adduces hearsay evidence of a statement made by a person but does not call the person who made the statement to give evidence, the court may, on the application of another party, allow that other party to call and cross-examine the person on the statement as if he had been called by the first-mentioned party and as if the hearsay statement were his evidence in chief. 2 Where the court allows another party to call and cross-examine the person who made the statement, it may give such directions as it thinks fit to secure the attendance of that person as a witness and as to the procedure to be followed. 25 If— a a party has indicated an intention to adduce hearsay evidence of a statement made by a person who will not be called to give evidence; and b another party wishes to attack the credibility of the person who made the statement, that other party shall, so far as is reasonable in the circumstances, notify the party tendering the hearsay evidence of his intention.] [ PART IIII. PRELIMINARY 35 1 This Part of this Order applies to all actions in respect of personal injury or death. 2 For the purposes of this Order— “medical evidence” means— the evidence contained in any medical report or other accompanying or supplemental document as specified in rule 44 and includes surgical and radiological evidence and any ancillary expert or technical evidence; and any other evidence of a medical, surgical or radiological nature which a party proposes to adduce at the hearing by means of oral testimony; and the expressions “medical expert” and “medical examination” shall be construed accordingly; and “clinical negligence” means negligence in connection with the diagnosis of any illness, or the care or treatment of any patient, in consequence of any act or omission to act by a person employed or engaged for such purposes. 36 No party shall, except with the leave of the judge or district judge as the case may be or on consent, adduce medical evidence at the hearing the contents of which he has not disclosed to the other parties in accordance with rules. 37 Where any party fails to comply with any of the provisions of this order, the judge or district judge may stay the action or strike out that party’s defence, as the case may be, or make such order as the judge or district judge considers appropriate. PART IV 38 This Part of this Order applies to all proceedings for damages in respect of personal injury or death except actions grounded on an allegation of clinical negligence. 39 The plaintiff shall serve on the defendant medical evidence substantiating the personal injuries alleged in the civil bill within 14 days after service upon him of the defendant’s notice of intention to defend. 40 Any party who has been afforded medical examination of another party shall disclose to that other party any medical evidence resulting from such examination within 21 days of receiving it and in any case before the first day of the hearing. 41 Subject to rule 39, where a party proposes to adduce at the hearing medical evidence obtained from any medical expert, he shall disclose all relevant medical evidence obtained at any time from that medical expert to the relevant party or parties in accordance with rule 36 or within 21 days of receiving it and in any case before the first day of the hearing. 42 Where a party obtains on or after the first day of the hearing any report of evidence of the kind mentioned in rule 39 or 40, he shall disclose that report or evidence to the relevant party or parties immediately. 43 Any party to an action shall furnish to any other party on demand the name and address of any medical practitioner or the name of any hospital from whom or at which he received any medical or surgical treatment material to the action. 44 1 A party serving or disclosing medical evidence under this Part of the Order shall do so by furnishing copies of any relevant medical report or reports, together with any documents emanating from the maker of the report which are intended by him to accompany or supplement any such report, or a document containing a sufficient record of any such evidence as is referred to in the definition of medical evidence in rule 35(2). All such reports or other documents shall be signed and dated by the relevant medical expert and shall specify his professional qualifications. 2 On the ex parte application of any party bound to serve or disclose any medical report under this Order, the judge or district judge as the case may be may give him leave— i to adduce at the hearing the evidence contained in any report without serving or disclosing the report; or ii to omit or amend any part of any report when serving or disclosing the report. 45 Where a party’s medical evidence at the hearing varies from the evidence which that party has disclosed to another party, the judge or district judge may on the application of any party adjourn the hearing or make any such order, on such terms as to costs and otherwise, as to the judge or district judge may seem appropriate. PART V 46 This Part of this Order applies to proceedings for damages in respect of personal injury which are grounded on an allegation of clinical negligence. 47 1 Where more than one party to such an action proposes to adduce at the hearing medical evidence obtained from any medical expert on the issue of liability, each party shall— i insofar as they then have in their possession or power that evidence, disclose it to the other party or parties simultaneously within 28 days after service of the notice of intention to defend; and ii insofar as any party thereafter obtains any such evidence before the date of the hearing, disclose it to the other party or parties within 21 days of receiving it and in any case before the hearing. 2 Nothing in paragraph (1) shall be interpreted as imposing an obligation on any party to disclose evidence obtained from any medical expert on liability except where the party or parties to whom disclosure is to be made is also relying on such evidence and simultaneous exchange is to take place. 48 1 Where the plaintiff proposes to adduce at the hearing medical evidence obtained from any medical expert for the purpose of assisting the judge or district judge in assessing damages, he shall— i insofar as he then has in his possession or power that evidence, disclose it to the other party or parties within 14 days after service upon him of the defendant’s notice of intention to defend;

and ii insofar as he thereafter obtains any such evidence before the date of hearing, disclose it to the plaintiff and any other party or parties within 21 days of receiving it and in any case before the hearing.] ORDER 25PART I 1 At the hearing of any action or other proceeding [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may hear the whole matter of the action or proceeding and give a decree thereon or grant any relief, redress, or remedy or make any order or give any direction he considers necessary to enable him to give a final decree on a day to which the hearing is adjourned. 2 Where at the hearing it appears to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] that there are any claims, estates, titles, rights, duties or liabilities upon which he cannot adjudicate by reason of all the proper parties not being before the court, he may order such parties to be made plaintiffs or defendants upon such terms as to adjournment, notices and costs as he thinks fit. 3 1 If a plaintiff does not proceed with his civil bill or does not appear at the hearing of an action or other proceedings, the action or other proceedings may be struck out or dismissed without prejudice to the plaintiff’s proceeding by a new civil bill or other originating process. 2 Where a plaintiff appears at the hearing of an action or other proceeding but fails to establish his case to the satisfaction of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be], [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may dismiss the action or other proceeding either without prejudice to the plaintiff’s proceeding by a new civil bill or other originating process or on the merits as he thinks just. 3 Where, an action or other proceeding has been dismissed without prejudice and a subsequent action or other proceeding for the same or substantially the same cause of action is brought before payment of any costs payable under the dismiss, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may stay the subsequent action or other proceeding-until such costs have been paid. 4 1 If the defendant (not being the Crown) does not appear, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be], upon proof of service and of facts entitling the plaintiff to relief, may subject to paragraphs (2) to (4), give such decree or make such order as he considers just, and an endorsement of service or an affidavit of service or, where Order 6 Rule 3(2)(b) or Rule 3(7) applies the solicitor’s certificate referred to in Rule 12 of Order 6 may be accepted as proof of service. 2 If the Crown does not appear on the hearing of any civil bill in which it is a defendant, the civil bill shall be adjourned to a date fixed by [ the judge or district judge as the case may be], on such terms as to him may seem just. 3 Notice of the date fixed shall be served upon the Crown in a manner to be directed by [ the judge or district judge as the case may be], and shall set out that the case will be heard on the date named and such decree given or other order made as to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may seem just, the Crown’s absence notwithstanding. 4 If the Crown does not appear on the adjourned hearing [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may, upon proof of service of such notice, proceed to hear and determine the case and may give such judgment or make such other order as to him may seem just. 5 Where the defendant sets up a counterclaim and the claim of the plaintiff is discontinued, struck out, stayed or dismissed, the counterclaim may be proceeded with and the defendant, on proof thereof, may have a decree. 6 If a person, not originally a party to the proceedings, who has been served with a counterclaim does not appear at the hearing, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may proceed with the hearing and may give such decree or make such order as may be just against the person so served, or may adjourn the hearing and give such directions as he thinks fit. 7 Where [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] is of opinion that a counterclaim would be better disposed of in independent proceedings, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may of his own motion or on the application of any party order the counterclaim to be excluded. 8 1 Where a counterclaim is established against the claim of the plaintiff and there is a balance in favour of one of the parties [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may grant a decree in Form 139; but such a decree shall not be made in a case where Order 21 Rule 4(1)(a) applies. 2 Subject to Order 21 Rule 4(1)(a), nothing in paragraph (1) shall affect the discretion of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] to award costs in such proportions as he thinks fit. 9 Where any person has been improperly or unnecessarily joined as a plaintiff, a defendant who has set up a counterclaim may proceed with the counterclaim against the other plaintiff. 10 [ The judge or district judge as the case may be] may disallow any question put in cross-examination to any party or witness which appears to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] to be vexatious or irrelevant. 11 It shall not be obligatory on [ the judge or district judge as the case maybe] in any proceedings— a for the administration of the estate of a deceased person; or b for the execution of a trust; to give a decree or make an order for the general administration of the estate or execution of the trust, if the questions between the parties can be properly determined without such decree or order. 12 1 In any proceedings in which an injunction has been or might have been claimed, a plaintiff may, before or after decree, apply for an injunction to restrain the defendant from— a the repetition or continuance of the wrongful act or breach of contract complained of, or b the commission of any wrongful act or breach of contract of a like kind, relating to the same property or right of arising out of the same contract;

or b at or immediately after the hearing, in which case the order shall be included in the decree; or c after decree, on notice and supported by affidavit. 13 [ The judge or district judge as the case may be] may inspect any property or thing concerning which any question may arise in any proceedings. PART II 14 In the hearing of any action to which this Part applies, the [ district judge] shall have and may exercise all the powers vested in [ the judge] other than committal for contempt or default. 15 [ . . .] [ . . .] [ . . .] 4 Any action listed for hearing by [ the judge] in which the defendant fails to appear at the hearing may be directed by [ the judge] to be heard by the [ district judge]. 5 The [ district judge] may refer to [ the judge] any action which he thinks should properly be decided by [ the judge] and [ the judge] may either dispose of the action or refer it back to the district judge with such directions as he thinks fit.] 16 Any action intended for hearing by the [ district judge] shall, subject to the provisions of Order 26, be heard and determined in like manner as actions are heard and determined by [ the judge]. 17 Where by reason of death or unavoidable absence the [ district judge] is not present at the hearing of any action to which this Part applies the chief clerk or other officer of the court present shall open and adjourn or as the case may be, adjourn the hearing to such day as he thinks convenient. 18 1 If the defendant (not being the Crown) does not appear, the [ district judge], upon proof of service and of facts entitling the plaintiff to relief, may, subject to paragraphs (2) to (4), give such decree or make such order as he considers just. 2 If the Crown does not appear on the hearing of any civil bill in which it is a defendant, the civil bill shall be adjourned to a date fixed by the [ district judge], on such terms as to him may seem just. 3 Notice of the date fixed shall be served upon the Crown in a manner to be directed by the [ district judge] and shall set out that the case will be heard on the date named and such decree given or order made as may seem just, the Crown’s absence notwithstanding. 4 If the Crown does not appear on the adjourned hearing the [ district judge] may, upon proof of service of such notice, proceed to hear and determine the case and may give such judgment or make such other order as to him may seem just. 19 Subject to Order 26 proceedings heard before the [ district judge] shall for all purposes, including records, costs and court fees, be treated in like manner as if they had been heard before [ the judge], save that as regards costs, Rule 19(1)(a) of Order 55 shall not apply. PART III201Where in any case it is shown to the satisfaction of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] that a decree has been obtained by fraud, misrepresentation, surprise, mistake or other irregularity, or because the civil bill or other initiating process did not come to the knowledge of the defendant in time, the person against whom the decree was obtained (in this Rule referred to as “the unsuccessful party”) may in accordance with this Rule apply for and obtain a hearing or re-hearing.2An application for a hearing or re-hearing under this Rule shall, subject to paragraph (3), be made by motion ...;

b no notice of dispute has been received; and c the claim has not been settled. 19 Where a decree has been issued under rule 16, the judge may, either on an application or of his own choosing— a set aside or vary the decree; or b make any other order or give any other directions as the circumstances require. 20 If an application under rule 19 is made by one of the parties, it must be made in Form 129 and must set out all of the relevant facts. 21 On receiving the application, the officer shall send a copy to the other party (who may, within 14 days, respond in writing to the application) and inform the parties of the date on which the application will be heard. 22 If a decree is set aside the officer must inform the parties immediately and amend the court records accordingly. 23 An application in Form 127 or 128 may not be made if the claim is brought against a minor or a patient. 24 An application in Form 127 or 128 may only be made with the judge’s permission— a if the claim is brought against the Crown; or b if in any such proceedings as are mentioned in section 139(1)(b) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 the debtor or surety desires to have a credit agreement re-opened.] 25 A request for permission under rule 24 shall be made in writing and the other party shall be informed of the request. 26 The officer shall notify the parties of the date on which the amount of the claim will be assessed by the judge. 27 Where a decree has been issued under Rule 16(b) and the party against whom the decree has been made wishes to attend the assessment hearing, he must notify the small claims office and the other parties in writing. 28 The judge shall issue a decree for the amount of the claim, as assessed. 29. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 A small claims hearing— a shall be informal;

or f to direct that an application in Form 125 be transferred to his civil bill list, provided he is satisfied that— i a difficult question of fact or law is involved; or ii fraud is alleged against a party; or iii the parties consent to the application being dealt with in that way; or iv it would be unreasonable for the application to be dealt with in a small claims hearing because of its subject matter, the circumstances of the parties or the interests of any other person likely to be affected by the outcome. 33 If an application is transferred to the judge’s civil bill list, it shall proceed as if it had been commenced by civil bill and shall be subject to scale costs. 34 An application under Rule 32(e) shall be made in writing and the other party shall be informed of the application. 35 All parties shall, subject to any legal objection, agree to— a be examined by the judge on oath or affirmation; b produce any relevant documents or items which are in their possession; and c otherwise comply with the judge’s requests. 36 If a party wishes to summons a person as a witness, he can apply to the small claims court under Order 24, rule 9 for a witness summons and the summons maybe served in accordance with paragraph (5) of that rule or may be delivered to the witness personally by the applicant. 37 At any time before giving his decision the judge may— a consult any expert;

and b send to the chief clerk of the other court any relevant court records and documents. 41 On receiving the relevant records and documents, the chief clerk of the other court shall set a date for the hearing and advise the parties of that date. 42 Any document which is required to be sent may be sent by ordinary first class post. 43 Subject to Rules 33, 44 and 45, no costs, except the appropriate court fee, may be awarded in respect of an application for a small claim. 44 No witness expenses may be awarded, except in respect of expert witnesses who have provided written or oral evidence at the request of the judge under Rule 37. 45 If the judge is satisfied that— a there has been unreasonable conduct by one of the parties he may award costs against that party; b the proceedings were properly started by ordinary civil bill under Rule 3 he may, subject to Rule 46, award such costs as he considers appropriate. 46 When the judge is awarding costs under Rule 45 the costs must not exceed those specified in [ Table 2) of Part I of Appendix 2 and must be determined in accordance with the amount of the claim.] ORDER 271. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .6. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .9. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .10. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .11. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .12. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .13. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .14. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .15. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .16. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .17. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .18. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ORDER 28 1 1 Where a person desires to pay money or securities into court under section 63 of the Trustee Act (Northern Ireland) 1958 he shall file in the Office an affidavit in Form 132 containing the information required thereby and shall pay the money or securities into court in accordance with Court Funds Rules. 2 The costs incurred in the payment into court may be retained by the person making the payment into court. 3 The chief clerk may require in addition to the affidavit such evidence as he thinks proper with regard to the matter in respect of which the payment is made into court. 4 As soon as he receives it the chief clerk shall endorse on the affidavit a memorandum of the day on which it is filed and the affidavit shall be taken for all purposes to have been duly filed on the day so endorsed on it. 5 On the filing of the affidavit, the chief clerk shall enter the matter in the books of the court, and shall send to each person mentioned in paragraph 4 of the affidavit at the address given therein a notice of the payment into court in Form 133. 6 The persons filing the affidavit or any of them may apply to the chief clerk for a certificate in Form 134. 2 Where a person desires to apply to the court for the investment or payment out of court of any money or securities paid into court under this Order, the following provisions shall apply— a the application shall be made to [ the judge] ex parte: b [ the judge] on the hearing of the ex parte application may require notice of the application to be served on such persons as he thinks fit, and fix a day for the further hearing;

Such service may be proved by affidavit.] 19A 1 Where a civil bill or any other document is served by ordinary first class post under these Rules, unless the contrary is proved, the document shall be deemed to have been served on the [ seventh business day] after posting (excluding the day of posting). 2 In this Rule “business day” has the same meaning as in Rule 27.] 20 Unless [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] otherwise orders, no decree, dismiss, order, recognizance, or other document shall be received by the chief clerk or other officer unless the same is free from all unsightly or ambiguous erasures, interlineations or other alterations. 21 Where documents in the Office are required by any party to be produced in evidence, notice in writing to produce the same shall be served at the Office, on the chief clerk, seven days before the day on which the same may be required. 22 No solicitor, or apprentice or clerk to a solicitor, or officer of the county court shall be bail in any matter in the county court. 23 Subject to the provisions of these Rules and Orders, the enactments and practice relating to ordinary civil bill actions shall, so far as same are applicable, apply to every proceeding under the equitable jurisdiction of the court an when such enactments and practice are not applicable to such proceedings, the enactments and practice relating to the Chancery Division of the High Court shall be followed in such proceedings so far as the same are applicable, mutatis mutandis. 24 Searches may be made on such days in each week as shall be fixed from time to time by [ the judge or district judge as the case may be], and notice thereof shall be printed and kept posted on some conspicuous place in the Office. 25 Except by leave of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] on such terms as to costs or otherwise as to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may seem just, no counsel shall be heard unless he is instructed by a solicitor who is either personally present or represented by someone in attendance upon counsel at the hearing. 26 Save as otherwise provided by the Crown Proceedings Act 1947 and these Orders— a these Orders and any County Court Rules for the time being in, force shall, so far as may be, apply to all proceedings by or against the Crown in like manner as they apply to proceedings between subjects;

b a person, or the representative of a person, liable to pay or whose property will be chargeable with the amount due on taxation. 5B 1 Any party to a taxation under Rule 5A who is dissatisfied with the decision of the [ district judge] may within 14 days after the taxation request the [ district judge] to review his decision. 2 A request under paragraph (1) shall be made in writing specifying the item or items objected to and the nature and grounds of the objection and the party making the request shall serve a copy on each other party to the taxation. 3 On the making of a request under paragraph (1) the [ district judge] shall review his decision as to the item or items objected to and shall notify each party of his decision on the review and of his reasons for it. 4 Any party who is dissatisfied with the [ district judge’s] decision on the review may within 14 days apply to [ the judge] to review the taxation as to the item or items to which the decision relates. 5 An application for a review under paragraph (4) shall be made on notice stating the nature and grounds of the applicant’s objection to the district judge’s decision. 6 Unless [ the judge] otherwise directs, no further evidence shall be received on the hearing of an application under paragraph (4), and no ground of objection shall be raised which has not been raised in the applicant’s notice. 7 On an application under this rule [ the judge] may make such order as the circumstances require and in particular may order the [ district judge’s] certificate of the taxation to be amended or, except where the dispute as to the item under review is as to amount only, order the item to be remitted to the [ district judge] for re-taxation.] 6 Without prejudice to any discretion exercisable by the Taxing Master of the Court of Judicature under the Solicitors (Northern Ireland) Order 1976 there may be allowed to or in respect of witnesses such fees and expenses as [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] shall in his discretion think just. 7 1 In any suit or proceedings for which no scale of costs is prescribed, the amount of costs shall be in the discretion of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be]. 2 Where, in any suit or proceedings for which a scale of costs is prescribed, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] is satisfied that any party has unreasonably and for the primary purpose of increasing his costs included in his claim an amount in respect of any undisputed loss or damage, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may reduce the amount of costs payable to that party by such amount as he shall think fit. 3 The costs awarded on any application under Article 14 of the 1988 Order shall be in the discretion of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be]. 4 The costs awarded on an application under— a Article 7(3), 8(1), 16(1) or 16(4) of the 1977 Order; b Article 15, 16(6), 17 or 18(4) of the 1988 Order; c section 28(4) of the 1978 Act or section 63(3) of the 1991 Act, shall be in the discretion of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] both as to incidence and amount. 5 In this Order— “the 1977 Order” means the Criminal Damage (Compensation) (Northern Ireland) Order 1977; “the 1978 Act” means the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1978; “the 1988 Order” means the Criminal Injuries (Compensation) (Northern Ireland) Order 1988; “the 1991 Act” means the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1991.]; 8 Any discretion exercisable by [ the judges] as to the amount to be allowed for any fees or costs may be exercised notwithstanding that the party liable to pay such fees or costs is not present or represented. 9. [ . . .] 2 In taxing costs incurred in the High Court in any suit or action previous to the remittal thereof to the county court, or during the progress thereof, the [ district judge] shall tax those costs when required by [ the judge] according to the costs and fees payable in the High Court, subject to revision by [ the judge]. 3 In any taxation of costs, whenever items appear for disbursement, they shall be vouched in such manner as the taxing officer considers, proper, subject to the decision of [ the judge] appealed to. 4 With respect to any costs and allowances which are discretionary, the officer on taxation shall take into consideration the amount or value of the subject matter of the suit and the general nature and circumstances of the particular case as well as the work actually done. 5 In addition to the amount of costs allowed to a party on taxation in respect of the supply of goods or services on which value added tax is chargeable, there may be allowed as a disbursement a sum equivalent to value added tax at the appropriate rate on that amount in so far as the tax is not deductible as input tax by that party. 6 Where any party seeks to have the taxation of costs reviewed by [ the judge], he shall serve on the [ district judge] notice of the items to which he objects. 10 1 Where both claim and counterclaim are dismissed, as between party and party each decree shall carry costs on the scale of a defendant’s costs of a dismiss on the amount claimed. Provided that [ the judge or district judge as the case maybe] may direct that one decree, only shall issue for the difference, if any, between the costs of the parties, or if such costs are of the same amount that no decree shall issue. 2 Where both the claim and the counterclaim are established, then, subject to paragraph (3) hereof, as between party and party each decree shall carry costs on the scale appropriate to the amount decreed. 3 Where both the claim and the counterclaim are established and a balance is decreed in accordance with rule 8(1) of Order 25 then, in the absence of any special order by [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] under paragraph (2) of such rule, the costs as between the parties shall be in accordance with the scale appropriate to such balance as decreed. 4 Where a plaintiff succeeds on his claim and a counterclaim against him is dismissed, or where a defendant succeeds on his counterclaim and the claim against him is dismissed, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] shall upon application at the hearing decide what proportion (if any) of the scale costs appropriate to a dismiss on the amount claimed in the unsuccessful suit shall be payable to the successful party by way of additional costs occasioned by the defence of the other party’s claim, and such costs (if any) shall be added to the scale costs on the amount decreed. 5 As between solicitor and client, subject to rule 5 of this Order, the solicitor shall be entitled to such additional costs as are appropriate to any additional work or responsibility occasioned by the prosecution or the defence of the counterclaim; but he shall not be entitled to additional costs on the counterclaim in respect of any item common to both claim and counterclaim. 6 In this Rule the expression “costs” includes any witnesses’ expenses allowed by [ the judge or district judge as the case may be]. 11 1 This rule only applies where the plaintiff’s cause of action (or if there is more than one cause of action the principal cause of action): a related to contracts for works of building or engineering construction, contracts of engagement of architects, engineers or quantity surveyors, the sale of goods, insurance, banking, the export or import of merchandise, shipping or other mercantile matters, agency, bailment, carriage of goods, professional or clinical negligence or title to land; b claimed assault, battery, wrongful arrest or false imprisonment and where a named defendant is the Ministry of Defence, Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland or Head of the Northern Ireland Prison Service; [ . . .] ba claimed diffuse mesothelioma or any asbestosis related disease; or] c was brought under: i Part IV of the Sex Discrimination (Northern Ireland) Order 1976; ii Part III of the Race Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1997; iii Part IV of the Fair Employment and Treatment (Northern Ireland) Order 1998; iv Part III of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995; v section 76 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998; vi regulations 24 or 25 of the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006; [ . . .] vii regulations 5 to 17 of the Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006]; viii the Consumer Credit Act 1974; or ix the Special Educational Needs and Disability (Northern Ireland) Order 2005.] 2 Subject to paragraph (4) where, at the conclusion of a cause of action to which this rule applies, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] is satisfied that the issues in the case were of particular complexity, he may order that the parties receive an enhancement of their costs in addition to the scale costs set out in Appendix 2. 3 The amount of any enhancement under this rule shall be one-third of the scale fee in Appendix 2 to which the parties are entitled. [ . . .] 12 The amount of any costs awarded to a party other that a solicitor appearing in person in accordance with section 1 of the Litigants in Person (Costs and Expenses) Act 1975 shall be such as may be determined by [ the judge or district judge as the case may be]. 13 Where it is necessary to serve more than one copy of a civil bill or other document initiating proceedings there shall be payable for each copy after the first a further sum of [ £1.00]. 14 1 Where a defendant pays the amount due or delivers up possession, as the case may be, within 21 days from service of the civil bill and also within that period pays 50% of the solicitor’s costs in column 2 of [ Table 2] of Part I or of Table 1 of Part III of Appendix 2 as appropriate, together with all of the plaintiff’s outlay including counsel’s fee (if any) properly incurred to the date of settlement he shall not be liable for any further costs. 2 The costs awarded to a solicitor where he enters judgment on behalf of a plaintiff in accordance with Order 12 Rule 1 shall be the scale fee in accordance with [ Table 2] in Part I of Appendix 2. 3 Subject to paragraphs (4), (5) and (6) where judgment is entered on behalf of a plaintiff in accordance with Order 12, rule 2 and damages are assessed under Order 12, rule 13 or 16 the costs awarded to a solicitor or counsel shall be 50% of the scale fee payable under the relevant Table (as determined by the cause of action) in Appendix 2. 4 Costs shall only be awarded to counsel in accordance with paragraph (3) if [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] has certified that it was necessary to instruct counsel in that case. 5 Notwithstanding paragraph (3), the amount of 50% of the scale fee prescribed by paragraph (3) (being the costs payable to a solicitor and, if allowed, to counsel where judgment is entered on behalf of a plaintiff in accordance with Order 12, rule 2 and damages are assessed under Order 12, rules 13 or 16) may be increased at the discretion of the judge or district judge. 6 Notwithstanding paragraphs (3) to (5), in any case whether commenced by civil bill or on petition, where the approval of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] is required under Order 44, rule 1(1)(a), the costs payable to a solicitor and counsel shall be the full scale fee allowable under Appendix 2, Part 1.] 15 In any proceedings for recovery of possession of lands not separately valued for rating [ the judge] may make any apportionments of valuation necessary for the determination of the costs applicable. 16 The solicitor’s remuneration provided by the scales in Appendix 2 include a fee for the preparation of a brief to counsel (if any). 17Where service of a civil bill or other document has been effected by post under Rule 3(2)(a) of Order 6, the solicitor shall be entitled to a fee inclusive of outlay in lieu of the fees payable to process servers as follows £4.00]. 18 In proceedings where an injunction is claimed under Article 13 of the Order, not being proceedings within the equity jurisdiction, the costs in relation to the hearing of the claim for an injunction shall be in the discretion of [ the judge or district judge as the case may be], both as to incidence and amount. 191In any proceedings before a [judge], other than an appeal under the 1977 Order, the 1988 Order, the 1978 Act or the 1991 Act, if the award by [ the judge] does not exceed—a[ £10,000], only two-thirds of the amount of the scale costs shall be allowed, unless [ the judge] otherwise orders; orb£5,000, no costs, save those which would be awarded under Order 26, Rules 43 to 46, shall be allowed if [ the judge] is satisfied that the proceedings should have been brought under Article 30(3) of the Order.2In any proceedings before a district judge, if the award by the district judge does not exceed £5,000, no costs, save those which would be awarded under Order 26, Rules 43 to 46 shall be allowed if the district judge is satisfied that the proceedings should have been brought under Article 30(3) of the Order. 20 1 Where it appears to [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] in any proceedings that— a any witness has been called to give oral evidence where his evidence could have been put before the court in some other manner, and b his giving oral evidence was not reasonably necessary, [ the judge or district judge as the case may be] may order that the costs occasioned by calling the witness to give oral evidence shall fall upon the party who caused his so to be called, and for this purpose may make such provision as he thinks fit either by fixing the amount of such costs in default of agreement between the parties or by making and order for taxation of such costs. 2 Any costs required to be taxed pursuant to an order under this Rule shall be taxed in the same manner as costs in equity suits or proceedings.] 21 Where an application is made in accordance with Order 14 rule 10A or Order 15 rule 5A for an order under Article 42A(2) or 42B the person against whom the order is sought shall, unless the court otherwise directs, be entitled to his costs of the application and of complying with any order made thereon.] ORDER 561There shall be a county court seal for Northern Ireland.2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .31The seal shall be affixed by or under the direction of the chief clerk to any document required by these Rules or any other enactment to be scaled with the county court seal.2Every seal affixed to any document shall, subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), be authenticated by the signature of the chief clerk or registrar and no authentication of the seal shall be necessary.3Where any order directs that the [ district judge] or other officer shall do any act or take any accounts or inquiries, the seal on such order shall be authenticated by the signature of the chief clerk, as the case may be, and no further authentication shall be necessary.4In the event of sickness or absence of the chief clerk, the seal may be authenticated and any certificate required by these rules may be given by such officer of the court as [ the judge] may from time to time direct.4The county court seal shall be affixed to—aevery document which immediately prior to the passing of the Order was required to be sealed with the county court seal;bevery document which under the provisions of these Rules or any other enactment is required to be sealed with the county court seal;

orbby printing a facsimile of the seal on the document whether electronically or otherwise.]ORDER 57 1 1 Where it is alleged that any person has— a wilfully insulted or acted contumaciously towards [ the judge or district judge as the case may be], or any witness, or any officer of the court during his sitting or attendance in court or in chambers or at any hearing before an officer of the court or in going to or returning from the court or chambers or a hearing before an officer of the court;

but [ the judge] may, if he considers it necessary, hear the application ex parte and make such order thereon as he thinks fit. 5 The order for the issue of a warrant shall be in Form 273 and the warrant shall be in Form 274. 8 1 [ The judge] may at any time and at any place hear any application as to the discharge of any person in custody committed for contempt of court and may make such order regarding that person as he might make if sitting in open court. 2 Notice of an application for discharge from custody of a person committed for contempt of court shall be in Form 275 and shall be served on the opposite party (if any) at least two days before the day on which the application is intended to be heard, and an order for the discharge from custody of a person so committed shall be in Form 276, but [ the judge] may, if he considers it necessary, hear the application ex parte and make such order thereon as he thinks fit. 9 1 Rule 6 and paragraphs (1) to (4) of Rule 7 shall apply to motions for the grant of an order for sequestration against an individual under Article 111 of the Judgments Enforcement (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 or against a company under Article 113 of that Order with the modification that in the said Rules and in Forms 269, 270, 271 and 272 for a reference to committal or to an order of committal there shall be substituted a reference to sequestration or to an order for sequestration as the case may be. 2 A sequestration order granted against an individual shall be in Form 277 and that against a company shall be in Form 278.

purpose of ascertaining the appropriate scale the value of any lands not valued by a court valuer or sold in the course of the proceedings shall, subject to any direction of the judge or district judge, be taken to be 0.0163 times their capital value or ten times their net annual value.4Where the subject of the proceedings is under the Rates (Northern Ireland) Order 1977 property which is not treated as a hereditament, its value shall, where the property is not valued by a court valuer or sold in the course of the proceedings be taken, subject to any direction of the judge or district judge, to be an amount which is equal to 0.0652 times or forty times the amount which the Commissioner of Valuation certifies would be entered in a valuation list as its capital or net annual value respectively if it were so treated and if it had been valued under the enactments repealed by that Order.5Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Part, the judge or district judge may in any case direct that any of the scales prescribed in this Part be wholly or partly applicable for the determination of the costs of any party thereto.6Where, having regard to the work actually performed, the amounts provided under the relevant scale are in the opinion of the judge or district judge inadequate, he may for any particular case make a special order allowing such costs and expenses as he may think just.7The value of the subject matter of any suit for the purpose of stamp duties and for the allowance of costs and expenses shall in case of dispute be assessed by the judge or district judge.8Where a suit is terminated by settlement or other arrangement at any time before the final decree, the judge or district judge may order such allowance in respect of costs and expenses of either or any of the parties as in his opinion, having regard to the nature and circumstances of the case, may seem just.9The costs of separate appearances by counsel or solicitor for parties whose interests are not antagonistic shall not be allowed, nor shall more than one set of costs be allowed for any parties for whom the judge or district judge is of the opinion that separate appearances were unnecessary.10Where in a mortgage suit the defendant, either before the hearing or within the time fixed by the primary decree, pays the amount due for principal and interest together with all costs due up to the date of payment, such costs shall be ascertained by reference to the amount due at the commencement of the proceedings and not by reference to the value of the lands.11Counsel travelling to attend court—a20 to 50 miles from the Head Post Office, Belfast, is entitled to an additional sum of £30.00;bmore than 50 miles from the Head Post Office, Belfast, is entitled to an additional sum of £61.00.Solicitor travelling to attend a court—a20 to 50 miles from the solicitor’s office or, where the solicitor’s firm practises from more than one office, from the office which

office which dealt with the proceedings is entitled to an additional sum of £61.00.Where a solicitor or counsel has conducted more than one case on the same day at the same venue, this fee may be claimed once only and the fee shall be divided proportionately over the number of cases conducted by the solicitor or counsel.12For each day or part of a day on which a trial or hearing is continued after the first day a solicitor in attendance is entitled to an additional sum equivalent to 50% of solicitor’s scale fee on the amount claimed/decreed (as appropriate) not exceeding £600 and counsel is entitled to an additional sum of 50% of counsel’s scale fee on the amount claimed/decreed (as appropriate).PART IX1The costs under Order 10 shall be in accordance with the foregoing Rules and Tables so far as appropriate and subject to any direction by the judge or district judge.(i)Instructions and drawing notice of motion or certificate of application for discovery, filing and serving a copy£150(ii)Attending before judge or district judge on notice or ex parte£75(iii)Drawing up list of documents under Order 15£75(or such other amount as the judge or district judge may allow)(iv)Preparation of a court-directed skeleton argumentSuch amount as the judge or district judge may allow up to a maximum of £1242Costs of an enforcement order under Rule 4(2)(a) of Order 40 shall be in accordance with Part 1, Table 3 as if the total amount ordered to be paid by instalments were the amount decreed.3Costs of a committal order or an attachment of earnings order made by the court under the said Act shall be one-half the amount of the costs appropriate to an enforcement order.(i)Applicant’s costs of obtaining a certificate in respect of a money provision contained in a decree£34(ii)And in respect of the affidavit together with the Commissioner’s fee (if any) an additional sum of £34Where an order is made for recovery of possession of goods let under a hire-purchase agreement, the prima facie value of the goods for the purpose of costs shall be the total price less (a) the amount paid, and (b) the amount of arrears (if any) awarded by the decree or order, but this value may be varied by the judge or district judge in his discretion and the costs shall be of the same amount as in proceedings for the recovery of a sum of money equal to the said value of the goods.5Where a decree for arrears of instalments and/or damages is coupled with an order for recovery of possession of goods the amount thereof shall be added to the value of the goods as ascertained as above for the purpose of fixing the amount of the costs.6In any proceedings on foot of a hire-purchase agreement for recovery of possession of goods or for arrears of instalments or for damages for breach of the said agreement where such proceedings are undefended the costs shall be in accordance with Part I, Table 3 and in other cases Part I, Table 1 or2.(i)Notice of appeal or application, services and entry£25(ii)Preparation for and attending hearing, instructing counsel (if any) and taking out order£134(iii)Counsel’s fee£837The above fees may be increased at the discretion of the

Ireland) Order 1979 or the Administration of Estates (Northern Ireland) Order 1979 or any other statutory application not otherwise provided for, direct that the equity scales shall apply in lieu of the above costs.8Where an order is made for delivery of goods with or without an order for damages the value of the goods as assessed by the court shall be added to the damages, if any, for the purpose of ascertaining the appropriate costs scales.9Where an action for wrongful interference with goods is dismissed the defendant’s costs shall be based upon the value of the goods claimed as assessed by the court or shall be such sum as the judge or district judge may award.10If ordered by the judge or district judge on the application of any party, the costs of the day in any proceeding shall be in the discretion of the judge or district judge.PART X(i)For any affidavit of service not otherwise provided for£3(ii)For any other necessary affidavit not otherwise provided for, per
