Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Rules)

These Rules make minor amendments to the County Court (Forms) Rules 1982 so as to amend the notes to forms in relation to interest on judgments. These changes have been made as a result of an amendment to the County Courts (Interest on Judgment Debts) Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/1184), which allows interest to run on judgment debts of less than £5,000 where the judgment is in respect of a debt which attracts contractual or statutory interest payable as a result of the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. (Previously the 1991 Order only allowed interest to run on judgment debts of not less than £5,000.)
