The proper objective of rules of civil procedure is to obtain a just, fair, equitable and impartial

that this objective may be attained with as great expedition and dispatch and at the least expense

both to the litigants and to the state as may be practicable, these rules shall be given a liberal

construction.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
