# The Adoption (Amendment) Rules 1999, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Rules)
The Adoption Rules 1984 apply the Rules of the Supreme Court 1965 and the County Court Rules 1981. On 26th April 1999, the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 came into force in respect of civil proceedings; they supersede the Rules of the Supreme Court and the County Court Rules, which will cease to have effect. These Rules provide for the Rules of the Supreme Court and County Court Rules to continue to apply to the Adoption Rules. The exception is the assessment of costs, where the relevant provisions of the Civil Procedure Rules will apply instead.
