Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

These Rules make amendments to the Court Funds Rules 1987 consequent upon the replacement of the Rules of the Supreme Court 1965 and the County Court Rules 1981 by the Civil Procedure Rules 1998. The Rules update references and make necessary changes where there is a substantive change in procedure.

The Rules also make amendments so that payments into court in claims proceeding in District Registries are treated in the same manner as payments into court in claims proceeding in county courts.

Other minor amendments are also made.
