On 26th June 2012, the Statutory Rules Committees for the High Court and the Subordinate Courts met and approved the Rules of Court 2012 and fixed the 1st of August 2012 as the date of enforcement.

The Rules of Court 2012 provide a common code of procedure for all civil cases in the High Court and the Subordinate Courts, replacing both the High Court Rules 1980 and the Subordinate Courts Rules 1980, and will dramatically alter the civil litigation landscape in this country.
