The Rules Board for Courts of Law has gazetted amendments to rules regulating the conduct of proceedings in Magistrates’ Courts.
Focusing on mediation as an option for resolving a dispute between litigants, the amendments will come into force on 9 June 2023. They will replace Chapter 2 in its entirety, as well as the forms used when giving litigants the opportunity to proceed with mediation.
