The Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1881 s19 vested the power to regulate procedure in the County Court through rules having the force of law. The County Court Rule Committee consisted of five county court judges, and later a registrar and representatives of the professional bodies. Its functions were similar to those of the Supreme Court Rule Committee, but since 1884 its rules have been required to be confirmed by that body. The committee was serviced by the Lord Chancellor's Office.
The committee was engaged in rule making (required by new legislation which was to be implemented by the courts), revision of rules where there were gaps and flaws in existing rules, consideration of suggestions from within the department, committee and from outsiders and revokations of those which were obsolete.
