  "text": "The amendments of the Rules of the Supreme Court made by Part I of these Rules will ensure that, where an action is brought in the High Court for possession of premises to which the Rent Acts apply, no judgment is entered in default of appearance or defence except with the leave of the court. Of the miscellaneous amendments in Part II, rule 5 enables a payment into court during the trial of an action to be made at the place of trial instead of at the place where the action is proceeding, and rule 6 applies the procedure of provisional taxation to all cases in which the costs of a matrimonial cause are to be taxed by a principal clerk of the Principal Probate Registry. The amendments in rules 7 and 8 are consequential on the coming into force of the relevant provisions of the Solicitors Act 1965 and the Family Provision Act 1966.",
