1999 SESSION
981961304Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 8.01-4 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 8.01-4. District courts and circuit courts may prescribe certain rules.
The district courts and circuit courts may, from time to time, prescribe
rules for their respective districts and circuits
such . Such rules as may be reasonably
appropriate to shall be strictly limited to
only those rules absolutely necessary to
promote proper order and decorum, and the convenient and
efficient use of courthouses and clerks' offices. No rule of any such
court shall be prescribed or enforced which is inconsistent with this
statute or any other statutory provision, or the Rules of the
Supreme Court, or contrary to the decided cases, or which has the effect of
abridging substantive rights of persons before such Court. Any rule of
court which violates the provisions of this section shall be invalid.
