Illustration for Evidence Act 2006

If you are getting ready for a court hearing, you can give notice under section 130(4) before the rules change. You do this to make sure you give notice in time for a hearing that might happen after the rules change. You can give this notice even before the new rules start.

You can also give notice that you object to something under section 130(5) before the rules change. You do this for the same reason, to make sure you give notice in time for a hearing that might happen after the rules change. This helps you get everything ready for the court hearing.
