(b) a reference in an Act, statutory instrument or document, to a
provision of the Supreme Court Rules 1937, the Supreme Court
(Admission of Legal Practitioners) Rules 1998 or the Supreme
Court (Corporations) Rules 2003 were, in relation to anything
to which these rules apply, a reference to the corresponding
provision of these rules; and

Examples for par (c)
1 A ‘notice of motion’ is taken to be an ‘application’.
2 A reference to entering an appearance in relation to an originating
process in a civil proceeding is taken to be a reference to filing a notice
of intention to respond in the court or filing a defence (if the defendant
chooses not to file a notice of intention to respond but files a defence).
3 A reference to taxation of costs is taken to be a reference to assessment
of costs.
