Explanation
Format. When adopting the format of the rule numbering and subdivision organization of the federal rules it was necessary to remove all miscellaneous rules applicable to special proceedings. This had been partially accomplished because many of these miscellaneous rules had been assigned rule numbers between 87 and 99. These rule numbers continue to be reserved for this purpose and all the miscellaneous rules relating to special proceedings, except criminal, are now renumbered in this series. Other than the addition of subheadings, no major revisions have been undertaken in the Special Proceedings Rules.
Statutes. No attempt has been made to cross-reference applicable statutes.
Abbreviations. These Superior Court Special Proceedings Rules may be cited as SPR.
