The Family Proceedings (Miscellaneous Amendments) Rules 1999
The Family Proceedings Rules 1991 apply the County Court Rules 1981 and the Rules of the Supreme Court 1965. On 26th April 1999, the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 come into force in respect of civil proceedings; they supersede the County Court Rules and the Rules of the Supreme Court, which will cease to have effect. These Rules provide for the County Court Rules and Rules of the Supreme Court generally to continue to apply in the Family Proceedings Rules. The exception is the assessment of costs, where the relevant provisions of the Civil Procedure Rules will apply instead.
