The Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1881 s19 vested the power to regulate procedure in the Supreme Court of Judicature through rules having the force of law. The powers lay with the Lord Chancellor and a Rule Committee consisting of the Lord Chief Justice, the Master of the Rolls, the President of the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division and four judges selected by the Lord Chancellor. By 1909 there was also professional representation. The Rule Committee considered the rules, redrafted them, discussed them with masters and registrars, considered proposals and amendments and revoked those which were obsolete. The committee is serviced by the Lord Chancellors's Office.
