Explanatory note

Besides making other minor amendments to the Rules of the Supreme Court 1965, these Rules (a) enable an order requiring a person to abstain from doing an act to be enforced pending service of the order if that person was present in court when the order was made or has otherwise had notice of its terms (rule 4), (b) simplify the requirements relating to the deposit of powers of attorney in the Central Office (rule 6), and (c) amend the note on the forms of writ and originating summons so as to make it clear that the period for service of the writ or summons includes the date of issue (rule 9(1)).
