Practice and procedure in warden’s court
136 Practice and procedure in warden’s court
Subject to this Act the practice and procedure of a warden’s court shall be governed by the rules of court made by the Governor and until provision is made by rules of court, or where no provision, or insufficient provision is made by this Act or the rules of court in relation to any act, matter or thing, the rules of court of the Magistrates Court, for the time being in force, so far as applicable, apply to the warden’s court, but without limiting the jurisdiction conferred by this Act on a warden’s court.
The rules of court may provide in particular that the appropriate provisions of the Magistrates Court (Civil Proceedings) Act 2004, with such modifications as may be necessary or desirable and specified in the rules of court, apply in respect of judgments and orders of the warden’s court.
The rules of court may provide for documents to be lodged with or issued by a warden’s court, or served, in an electronic form.
