Supreme Court Rules (Amendment) (ACT)

This case involves the Supreme Court Rules (Amendment) (ACT) and the subsequent amendments to the Supreme Court Rules. The court was required to decide on the legal issues surrounding the implementation of these amendments, particularly in relation to adoption proceedings under the Adoption Act 1993. The court found that the amendments were necessary to enable transitional adoption proceedings to continue and be dealt with under the Adoption Act 1993, and that they should apply as if the whole of the Adoption Act 1993 had been in operation at the time the proceedings commenced. The court also found that the amendments were necessary to ensure that adoption orders, dispensing orders, variation orders, and discharging orders could be made in accordance with the new rules, and that the necessary forms for these orders were included in the amendments. The court made orders in accordance with the amended rules, and these orders are set out in the various forms included in the amendments.
