The Justices' Clerks (Amendment) Rules 2005
These Rules amend the Justices' Clerks Rules 2005 (S.I. 2005/545 (L.10)) primarily to make provision enabling a justices' clerk or an assistant clerk to carry out functions in proceedings under the Adoption and Children Act 2002 (c. 38). In addition, rule 5 is an amendment made as a consequence of the implementation of the Civil Partnership Act 2004 (c. 33) and rule 7 inserts paragraph 44 into the Schedule to the Rules, which had been omitted when the Justices' Clerks Rules 1999 were replaced by the 2005 Rules.
