(1)These Rules, which may be cited as the Rules of the Superior Courts (Order 15) 2016, shall come into operation on the 25th day of February, 2016.
(2)These Rules shall be construed together with the Rules of the Superior Courts.

- The Rules of the Superior Courts are amended by the substitution for rule 16 of Order 15 of the following rule: “16.An infant may sue as plaintiff by his next friend in the manner heretofore in use, and may, in like manner, defend by his guardian appointed for that purpose. On the infants attaining full age, the next friend or guardian may apply to the proper officer in the Central Office, by production of the infant’s birth certificate or such other evidence as the proper officer may require, for an amendment of the title to the proceedings to describe the party lately an infant as proceeding or defending in his own name. The said officer shall on such application cause the title to the proceedings in the cause book to be amended accordingly.” EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.) These rules amend Order 15 rule 16 of the Rules of the Superior Courts to simplify the requirements, on an infant attaining full age, for amendment of the title to the proceedings so that the former infant plaintiff can proceed or defend in his or her own name.
