Explanatory note This note is not part of the rules, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These rules, which come into force on 1 March 1997, amend rule 26 of the Domestic Violence Rules 1996.
Under that rule, a lawyer making an application without notice on behalf of a party for a protection order or a property order under the Domestic Violence Act 1995 must include a certificate stating, among other things, that the lawyer is satisfied that every affidavit accompanying the application discloses all relevant circumstances.
The amendment recasts this part of the certificate so that it must now say that the lawyer has made reasonable enquiries of the applicant to establish whether the relevant cir- cumstances have been disclosed, and to the best of the lawyer’s knowledge every affi- davit accompanying the application discloses all such circumstances.
