1. The name of the Court in which a writ of summons is filed, the names of the parties, and the enumber of the action together with the year in which it is instituted, shall form the title of the action. In the case of an originating summons, application, or petition, the title directed by the law or Rules governing the same, including the name of the Court in which it is filed and the enumber given to it in the registry of that Court, together with the year in which it is filed, shall form the title of such summons, application, or petition. And every document to be used in an action, or upon an originating summons, application, or petition, shall be intituled with the title thereof, together with any amended title that may become necessary : provided that where there are two or more plaintiffs, applicants or petitioners, or two or more defendants or respondents, it shall be sufficient, except in judgments and orders and where there is any provision to the contrary, to state the name of the first-named plaintiff, applicant or petitioner, and the first-named defendant or respondent, and that there are other plaintiffs, applicants, petitioners, defendants, or respondents, as the case may be.

2. Where new parties are added or any parties struck out in the course of an action or proceeding by originating summons, application, or petition, the title shall be amended so as to state the names of the parties between whom the same is actually continued; and all documents therein, bearing date subsequent to the amendment of title, shall be intituled with the original and amended title and the date of the order directing such amendment, according to Form 52.

3. In every action the writ of summons, the form of entry of appearance, the pleadings (if any), the minutes of any proceeding before the Court or Judge, the notes of evidence, affidavits, and depositions taken on commission, applications to the Court or Registrar, agreements for arbitration and awards, any judgment read or notes made use of in delivering judgment or making any order, notices of appeal and copies of judgments or orders lodged therewith, and all other documents directed to be filed with the file of proceedings, shall be in loose paper fastened up together, and shall constitute the file of proceedings. This provision shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to originating summonses, applications, and petitions. The file of the proceedings shall be kept in a jacket. The writ of summons (or other document whereby the proceedings are begun) shall be placed at the top and other documents shall follow in the order in which they are filed, the latest in date being last in order. The documents shall be paged, beginning with page 1 for the writ, and where the writ is for more than fifty pounds, briefly described on the jacket, the page being shown against the description.

Notes of evidence taken in an appeal shall be on loose paper. Further the notes of the President of a District Court hearing an appeal shall be taken on loose paper and filed with the record of appeal.

8. Any person upon payment of the proper fee may obtain any information which can be derived from inspection of the cause book in any cause or matter of which he can give the reference enumber and the general description, and the Registrar having custody of the cause book shall give him a certificate (which shall be admissible in evidence) specifying the dates and general description of the several proceedings which have been taken in such cause or matter.

10. On an application for a general search of the cause books, or for inspection or office copies of a document or record by a person not a party to the cause or matter, the grounds of the application shall be set out therein, and permission may be given by the President of the Court in which the same are kept if he so thinks fit.

(2) Άμα τη καταχωρίσει των τοιούτων εγγράφων ομού μετά της συνοδευούσης ταύτα δηλώσεως, ταύτα θα αποτελούν τον φάκελλον διαδικασίας, θα εφαρμόζωνται δε αι πρόνοιαι του κανονισμού 3 της Διατάξεως ταύτης.

(3) Εάν οιοσδήποτε των διαδίκων εν τη αγωγή ενίσταται εις την καταχώρισιν των τοιούτων δικογράφων ή άλλων εγγράφων, τότε ο έτερος των διαδίκων δύναται να υποβάλη αίτησιν δια κλήσεως (μεθ' ενόρκου δηλώσεως) εις το Δικαστήριού δι' έκδοσιν οδηγιών το δε Δικαστήριον δύναται να εκδώση τοιαύτας οδηγίας ως ήθελε θεωρήσει πρέπον υπό τας περιστάσεις.

(4) Το Δικαστήριον δύναται να απαιτήση παρά δικηγόρου ο οποίος κατεχώρισεν αρχικώς δικόγραφα (pleadings) ή άλλα έγγραφα εν τη αγωγή όπως δώση τοιαύτας πληροφορίας και προσάγη τοιαύτα έγγραφα εις το Δικαστήριον, ενόρκως ή άλλως, ως το τοιούτον Δικαστήριού ήθελε θεωρήσει πρέπον, δια σκοπούς ανασχηματισμού του αρχικού φακέλλου διαδικασίας εν τη αγωγή.
