EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This Note is not part of the Rules, but is intended to indicate their general purport.)

These Rules make a number of amendments to the County Court Rules, of which the following are the most important:

(1) The Rules relating to actions founded on hire-purchase agreements are amended so as to take account of the provisions of the Hire Purchase Act 1964 (c. 53) (Rules 2, 3, 4(1) and (2), 13(2), 14 and 19).

(2) Special provision is made for the venue in proceedings for the recovery of income tax brought under section 8 of the Income Tax Management Act 1964 (c. 37) and the Rule relating to Crown proceedings is recast (Rule 13(3).

(3) Where proceedings are transferred from one county court to another for the issue of a judgment summons, the registrar of that other court (instead of the registrar of the transferring court) is to give notice of the transfer and the notice is to be given to the judgment creditor as well as to the debtor (Rules 8, 18 and 20).
