(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Civil Courts Order 1983 so as to close Gravesend County Court. It does not deal with the devolution of the business of Gravesend County Court but this is transferred to Dartford County Court by direction of the Lord Chancellor after consulting the Lord Chief Justice. Dartford County Court has jurisdiction in proceedings commenced in Gravesend County Court before the coming into force of this Order.
