  "text": "These Rules are mainly consequential on the amendments made by section 4 of the Administration of Justice Act 1969 (C.58) in the provisions of section 47 of the County Courts Act 1959 relating to the costs of actions brought in the High Court which could have been brought in a county court. Rule 2 prevents a plaintiff recovering any costs of execution where he issues a writ of fieri faeias to enforce a judgment without costs for less than £100, instead of £40 as at present. Rule 3 substitutes new items of fixed costs for those set out in Appendix 3 to Order 62. Rule 4 makes minor drafting and consequential amendments in the form of writ of fieri facias.",
