Article 134 Principal court rules and practice to apply

The provisions of the CPR (including any related practice directions) apply to SMCL administration proceedings with any necessary modifications, except so far as disapplied by or inconsistent with these Rules.

SMCL administration proceedings must be allocated to the multi-track, for which CPR Part 29^f1 makes provision, and accordingly those provisions of the CPR which provide for directions questionnaires and track allocation do not apply.

CPR Part 32 (evidence) applies to a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth made under these Rules as it applies to a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth made under CPR Part 22 (statements of truth).
