Explanatory note

These Rules, which replace those of 1883, prescribe the procedure to be followed on the registration of a bill of sale with the registrar of the county court in the district of which the grantor resides. The Rules take into account the fact that under section 23 of the Administration of Justice Act, 1925, local registration is now effected by sending the county court registrar a copy instead of an abstract of the bill. The only other change of substance is that the provisions of the 1883 Rules relating to searching, inspecting and taking extracts and copies of the bills so registered have been omitted, since these matters are regulated by the Bills of Sale Acts themselves.
