CROWN PROCEEDINGS
The Crown Proceedings Act 1947 allows the Crown special privileges as to the venue of civil proceedings (section 19) and as to the transfer of civil proceedings from the county courts to the High Court (section 20). Section 35 requires rules of court to be made about the content of claim forms in civil proceedings against the Crown, and about default judgments, summary judgments and interrogatories. This Order amends the Crown Proceedings Act 1947 to enable these procedural privileges of the Crown to be revoked when a new Part 66 is added to the Civil Procedure Rules replacing RSC Order 77 (in Schedule 1 to those Rules) and CCR Order 42 (in Schedule 2).
