The Civil Procedure (Amendment No. 4) Rules 2001
The Civil Procedure Rules 1998 include, in Schedules 1 and 2 respectively, rules from the former Rules of the Supreme Court 1965 and the County Court Rules 1981 which still apply to claims. The primary purpose of these amending Rules is to replace some of the provisions of the earlier rules relating to the enforcement of judgments and orders with new Parts 70 to 73 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998. The new Part 70 contains general rules about enforcement. The new Parts 71 to 73 will provide new procedures governing, respectively, orders to obtain information from judgment debtors (known as oral examinations under the earlier rules), third party debt orders (known as garnishee orders under the earlier rules), and charging orders, stop orders and stop notices. The previous rules are revoked and there are many consequential amendments.
