Explanatory note
This note is not part of the rules, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These rules, which (except for rules 18 and 19) come into force on 1 July 2013, change a number of provisions in the High Court Rules that require updating or correction, in light of earlier changes made to the High Court Rules. These rules also change 2 forms to enable the name of the Judge to be recorded on the form, where that information may be relevant to the validity or effect of the order described in the form. Rules 18 and 19 (which come into force on 1 September 2013) make changes to the High Court Rules that are consequential on the enactment of the Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Act 2013. Rule 21 alters form B 2 to provide the costs that may be claimed by a judgment creditor include a filing fee as well as a fee for service.
Date of notification in Gazette: 23 May 2013.
These rules are administered by the Ministry of Justice.
