Once published in the government Gazette, these changes became part of the everyday rules that lawyers and judges must follow in Supreme Court cases."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/supreme-court-amendment-rules-no-2-2006","history":"/api/acts/supreme-court-amendment-rules-no-2-2006/history","analysis":"/api/acts/supreme-court-amendment-rules-no-2-2006/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/supreme-court-amendment-rules-no-2-2006/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/supreme-court-amendment-rules-no-2-2006/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/supreme-court-amendment-rules-no-2-2006/documents"}}
