122—Court rules

        (1)         The Court, or any one or more Judges thereof, shall have power from time to time to make such rules as to the said Court, Judge, or Judges appear expedient—

            (a)         for regulating the procedure and practice of the Court in its testamentary causes jurisdiction; and

            (b)         for the guidance of executors and administrators in relation to lands passing under section 46; and

            (c)         for defining the duties of the Registrar and other officers thereof; and

            (ca)         for authorising and regulating the exercise by the Registrar of any specified jurisdiction, power or authority of the Court whether arising under this Act or otherwise; and

            (d)         for determining what shall be deemed contentious and what non-contentious business; and

            (e)         for regulating the procedure and practice under Part 3 and Division 3 of Part 4; and

            (f)         for prescribing forms; and

            (g)         generally for carrying the provisions of this Act into effect.

        (2)         The Court, or any one or more Judge or Judges thereof, shall also have power, by rules made for that purpose, to revoke, amend, add to, or alter any such rules, or any rules in existence at the commencement of this Act.

        (3)         All such rules shall be approved by the Governor, and shall thereafter be published in the Gazette, and shall take effect from a time to be therein specified; and shall be laid before both Houses of Parliament within fourteen days after the making thereof, if Parliament is then sitting, or if Parliament is not then sitting, within fourteen days after the commencement of the then next session of Parliament.

        (4)         If either House of Parliament, by resolution passed within thirty-six days next after any such rules are laid before it, resolve that the whole or any part thereof ought not to continue in force, the whole of such rules, or such parts thereof as may be specified in the resolution (as the case may be), shall, from the passing of such resolution, cease to be binding.

        (5)         The powers hereby given for making rules shall not affect any powers in that behalf contained in the Supreme Court Act 1935 .
