Civil procedure in South Africa is the formal rules and standards that courts follow when adjudicating civil suits (as opposed to procedures in criminal law matters). The legal scope is divided broadly into substantive and procedural law. Substantive law is that law which defines the contents of rights and obligations between persons. Procedural law regulates how those rights and obligations are enforced, how a case may be commenced, what kind of process is required, the time lines and manner of exchange of process, and available remedies.
