Annotation de l'entreprise
Section 103/3 is a delegated rule-making provision. It authorises the President of the Supreme Court, acting with the approval of the plenary session of the Supreme Court, to issue additional regulations on the guidelines for adducing evidence, aimed at convenience, speed and fairness. The power is bounded: such regulations may not be contrary to or inconsistent with statute, so they operate below and within the Code, not against it. They take legal effect only upon publication in the Government Gazette. Read with Sections 103/1 and 103/2, this provision lets evidence practice be modernised and standardised administratively rather than through legislative amendment.
Pourquoi cela est important en pratique
This section matters less as a direct rule for litigants and more as a signal to check for current Supreme Court President's regulations on evidence, which can shape how you must present proof in practice. Before finalising an evidence plan, confirm whether any such published regulation applies to your court or case type, since it carries legal force once in the Government Gazette. A regulation cannot override the Code, so if one appears to conflict with a statutory rule, the statute prevails and it is worth taking advice.

When do these regulations take effect?
They come into force once published in the Government Gazette, and they must not be contrary to or inconsistent with the law.
