1963 Rep. Advisory Comm. on Civ. Rules [i] (1963)

handle is hein.usfed/adcvru0010 and id is 1 raw text is: COMMITTEE ON RULES Off PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE OF THE JUDICIAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT BUILDING WASHINGTON 25, D. C. ALBERT B MARIS CHAI RMAN July 15, 1963 CHAIRMEN OF ADVISORY COMMITTEES DEAN ACHESON CIVIL RULES PHILLIP FORMAN BANKRUPTCY RULES JOHN C PICKETT CRIMINAL RULES WALTER L POPE ADMIRALTY RULES E. BARRETT PRETTYMAN APPELLATE RULES TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE ON RULES OF PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE As you know, the Advisory Committee on Admiralty Rules has resolved that unification of the civil and admiralty practices, with certain special rules for distinctively maritime matters, is both feasible and de- sirable. The plan to implement this resolution has been approved in prin- ciple by you and by the judicial Conference, and the Supreme Court has informally indicated its approval of the principle. The plan has similarly been approved by the responsible committee of the Maritime Law Associa- tion of the United States, with whom the Advisory Committee has worked closely. Finally, the plan has been reviewed by the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules with generally favorable results, although a few points of difference have been defined. The Advisory Committee on Admiralty Rules will meet again in September. At that time, it is hoped, we can take definitive action re- commending to you a set of amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Pro- cedure necessary to effectuate the plan of unification, together with a set of Supplemental Rules governing the distinctively maritime remedies (attachment and garnishment, proceedings in rem, and proceedings for limitation of liability). It is reasonable to hope that at its meeting in October the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules will take definitive action on the proposal. You would then be in position to submit the proposal to the bench and bar generally for criticism. The proposal will be based on the Civil Rules as of July 1, 1963, including the amendments that became effective on that date.
