(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules amend the Court Funds Rules 1987 so as to require the crediting of accrued interest to funds held in court to take place always on the last Friday in an accounting cycle. They also remove reference to approved forms, and make a number of minor amendments for the sake of clarity.
