  "text": "(This note is not part of the Rules)\nThese Rules amend the Courts Funds Rules 1987 so that payments into court under Parts 36 and 37 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 in claims proceeding in District Registries and county courts are treated in the same manner as payments into court in claims proceeding in the Royal Courts of Justice. Payments will no longer be made to the court but direct to the Court Funds Office. The only exception is where a litigant in person without a current account is making the payment. In these exceptional circumstances cash may be paid into the appropriate District Registry or county court and it will then be forwarded to the Court Funds Office within one working day.\nWhere an enactment directs payments to be made into a county court these payments may still be made at the appropriate court office, in cash or otherwise.",
