Tasmania regulation
These rules amend the Magistrates Court (Civil Division) Rules 1998 to update procedural matters for civil cases in the Magistrates Court. They affect magistrates, court staff, lawyers and litigants by changing how civil proceedings are governed; the amendments commence on Gazette notification (rule 2) and have been incorporated into the authorised version of the Principal Rules (rules 4–5). The instrument itself does not set fees or penalties and was made by the Magistrates Rule Committee.
