About this republication The republished law This is a
republication of the Court Procedures Rules 2006, made under the
Court Procedures Act 2004 (including any amendment made under the
Legislation Act 2001, part 11.3 (Editorial changes)) as in force on
1 January 2018. It also includes any commencement, amendment,
repeal or expiry affecting this republished law to 1 January
2018.
The legislation history and amendment history of the republished
law are set out in endnotes 3 and 4.
Kinds of republications The Parliamentary Counsels Office
prepares 2 kinds of republications of ACT laws (see the ACT
legislation register at www.legislation.act.gov.au):
authorised republications to which the Legislation Act 2001
applies
unauthorised republications. The status of this republication
appears on the bottom of each page.
Editorial changes The Legislation Act 2001, part 11.3 authorises
the Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial amendments and other
changes of a formal nature when preparing a law for republication.
Editorial changes do not change the effect of the law, but have
effect as if they had been made by an Act commencing on the
republication date (see Legislation Act 2001, s 115 and s 117). The
changes are made if the Parliamentary Counsel considers they are
desirable to bring the law into line, or more closely into line,
with current legislative drafting practice. This republication
includes amendments made under part 11.3 (see endnote 1).
Uncommenced provisions and amendments
If a provision of the republished law has not commenced, the
symbol U appears immediately before the provision heading. Any
uncommenced amendments that affect this republished law are
accessible on the ACT legislation register
(www.legislation.act.gov.au). For more information, see the home
page for this law on the register.
Modifications
If a provision of the republished law is affected by a current
modification, the symbol M appears immediately before the provision
heading. The text of the modifying provision appears in the
endnotes. For the legal status of modifications, see the
Legislation Act 2001, section 95.
Penalties At the republication date, the value of a penalty unit
for an offence against this law is $150 for an individual and $750
for a corporation (see Legislation Act 2001, s 133).
