Amendments to the Civil Procedure Rules
The Civil Procedure (Amendment No. 2) Rules 2008 (SI No.3085) were made on 2 December 2008 and came into force on 4 December 2008.
Bypassing the civil procedure rules committee entirely, these rules were made by the Lord Chancellor personally under powers conferred by the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 and insert a new part 79 into the CPR. Frankly, there is not much here of interest to civil practitioners as such, though it will undoubtedly be of interest to civil libertarians.
