(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order enables the Lord Chancellor to enter into a contract for the provision of staff to provide information technology related services in the county courts. It revokes the Contracting Out of Functions (Court Staff) Order 1996 (as amended) which detailed the functions that could be carried out by reference to certain provisions of the County Court Rules 1981 (S.I. 1981/1687). The County Court Rules are replaced by the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (S.I. 1998/3132).
