Rules of Court
Rules of Court, orders regulating the practice of the Courts; or orders made between parties to an action or suit.(1) General rules regulating the practice of the Courts, both of Common Law and Equity, have from time to time been made by the Courts in pursuance of the powers of various Acts of Parliament. See as to the Common Law Courts, which promulgated consecutive Rules without any division into Orders, Day's Common Law Procedure Acts; and as to the Court of Chancery, which promulgated Orders subdivided into Rules, Morgan's Chancery Acts and Orders.

The practice of setting aside verdicts and granting new trials, however, so superseded the use of attains that there is no instance of one to be found in our books of reports later than in the time of Elizabeth, and it was altogether abolished by the (English) County Juries Act, 1825 (6 Geo. 4, c. 50), s. 60....
