Amendments

The Civil Procedure Rules 1998 include, in Schedules 1 and 2 respectively, rules from the former Rules of the Supreme Court and County Court Rules which still govern the procedure for a number of claims. The primary purpose of the Civil Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2001 is to add to the Civil Procedure Rules new Parts 55 and 56 which from 15 October 2001 will provide new procedures governing claims for the possession of land, and landlord and tenant claims. The previous rules are revoked, and there are many consequential amendments.
