The Civil Procedure (Amendment) Rules of 2002 amend the Civil Procedure Rules of 1998 and include a new rule which provides for a “practice direction” to allow electronic filing. According to the amended Rules,
“any such practice direction may:
provide that only particular categories of documents may be filed or sent to the court by such means;
provide that particular provisions only apply in specific courts; and
specify the requirements that must be fulfilled for any document filed or sent to the court by such means.”
