A short set of special rules for the chartered High Courts (not a Judicial Commissioner’s Court). It fixes which High Courts the Part covers (§116), confirms the Code applies to them (§117), and adds a few carve-outs — execution before costs are taxed (§118), who may address the Court (§119), and the venue sections that do not bind a High Court’s original side (§120).

This Part applies only to High Courts that are not the Court of a Judicial Commissioner — it sets the Part’s reach.
Save as this Part, Part X or the rules provide, the provisions of the Code apply to such High Courts.
A High Court may order a decree (on its original side) to be executed at once, except as to costs, before those costs are taxed.
The Code does not entitle anyone to address the High Court’s original side or examine witnesses for another, except as the charter / rules allow.
Sections 16, 17 and 20 (place of suing) do not apply to a High Court in the exercise of its original civil jurisdiction.
