The date inserted by this amendment is the date of coming into force of the edition of the Ordinances prepared by Sir John Carrington.

These amendments are designed to bring the local practice into line with the current English practice.

These amendments incorporate the provisions of the Crown Suits Ordinance, No. 5 of 1910, repealed by this Ordinance (see item 27), in their appropriate place in the Code of Civil Procedure.

The remaining amendments in item 2 are designed to bring the local practice into line with the current English practice.
