(This Note is not part of the Rules.)

These Rules make such consequential amendments to the Bankruptcy Rules 1952 as are necessary to take account of the Bankruptcy Fees (Amendment No. 2) Order 1979 (S.I. 1979/1589), which abolishes the use of adhesive stamps for the payment of fees and the separate fee for the insertion of notices in the London Gazette.
