I wish to continue the series by bringing Order 2 into limelight. The first post of the series dealt with the introductory part of the New Rules, particularly the interpretation provisions. You can find the post here . Interestingly, the Court of Appeal Rules, 2016 (New Rules) followed the order and manner the 2011 Rules (Old Rules) was made. Order 2 of the New Rules is also dedicated to Service of court processes. One noticeable difference on the face of the Rules with a quick overview is that the number of Rules under Order 2 has increased. From the initial 9 Rules contained under Order 2 of the Old Rules, the New Rules boasts of 16 Rules under Order 2. I will make attempts to bringing out the new provisions and comparing them with the old ones.

The new Court of Appeal Rules, 2016 has come with some modifications. While discussing with a colleague, who feels that only cosmetic changes have been made to the Rules, I felt it wise to have a look and share some of my own findings in this post. It is hoped that opinions and ideas from your own end will help shape this post. I intend to amend appropriately once your input is acknowledged. Kindly feel free to drop your comments below. I will make it a working series.
