# The Civil Procedure (Amendment No. 2) Rules 2000, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules come into force on the same day as the provisions of the Civil Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2000 relating to appeals and to service out of the jurisdiction.
There are provisions governing the procedure for appeals from detailed assessments of costs made by authorised court officers. These appeals are not governed by the new rules in Part 52. An amendment is also made to the transitional provisions, so that Part 52 will apply to an appeal unless a notice of appeal has been lodged before that Part comes into force.
The further provisions on service are for the most part consequential amendments. Rule 5 however adds a requirement that the court must be satisfied that England and Wales is the proper place to bring the claim before giving permission to serve a claim form out of the jurisdiction.
