Explanatory note

These Rules are consequential on the provisions of the County Courts Jurisdiction Order 1974 (S.I. 1974/1273) relating to the costs of actions commenced in the High Court which could have been commenced in the county court. Rules 2 and 4 prevent a plaintiff recovering any costs of execution where he issues a writ of fieri facias to enforce a judgment without costs for less than £150, instead of £100 as at present. Rule 3 amends the fixed costs set out in Appendix 3 to Order 62.
