County Courts

(4) The court is given power to strike out part of a pleading on failure to comply with an order to give further particulars of it (Rules 4 (3), 5 and 6).

(5) Where, on an appeal from the registrar, the judge orders a new trial, he must direct it to take place on a day to be fixed and he may direct it to take place before another judge of the court (Rule 10).

(6) The forms of ordinary and default summons are amended so as to instruct the defendant, if he has paid the amount claimed to the plaintiff since the issue of the summons, to pay the costs on the summons into court (Rule 15(1)). The instructions on the ordinary summons are transferred to the back of the summons (Rule 15(2)).

(7) The general form of order for the transfer of proceedings from one county court to another is made more informative and the separate form for Admiralty proceedings is abolished (Rules 17 and 25).
