In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to God, Lord of all worlds.
Oh God, bestow Your Mercy and Blessings upon Muhammad whenever he is remembered and not remembered.
O God, benefit me by that which You have taught me, and teach me that which will benefit me, and increase me in knowledge.
Praise be to God in all situations, and I seek refuge with God from the torment of the Fire. Amen.

This work is intended to be a concise reference to statutes and rules, as amended. Brief summaries of select case law, especially recent ones, may be included. Citations may be linked to the official text in the Supreme Court e-Library.

This project was initially intended solely for myself in MS WordHowever, the text of the Rules on Civil Procedure alone covered 169 A4 pages. That was simply not feasible, hence, this website.

I will update this regularly إنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ.

I pray that both the reader and I will find benefit in this humble work.
