📜 Magistrates Court (Civil Proceedings) Amendment Rules 2025
RulesSL 2025/2330 January 2025
Principal Act
These rules amend the Magistrates Court (Civil Proceedings) Rules 2005 to update references to personnel serving court orders and summonses, replacing 'prison officer' with 'custodial officer' and specifying 'Detention centre'.
Custodial officers working in detention centres are now explicitly recognised as personnel who can serve court orders and summonses. This clarifies and potentially broadens the scope of who can perform these duties, affecting court processes and the service of legal documents.
