Rule 83. Practice When Procedure is Not Specified

    (a) Local Rules. Under the North Dakota Local Court Rules (N.D.R. Local Ct. P.R.), each judicial district may adopt and amend rules governing practice in all of the courts in that judicial district not inconsistent with these rules or other rules adopted by the Supreme Court. On adoption of any local rule it must be referred to the Clerk of the Supreme Court for referral to the appropriate standing committee under Section 8, Rule on Procedural Rules, Administrative Rules and Administrative Orders of the North Dakota Supreme Court (N.D.R.Proc.R.), for study and recommendations to the Supreme Court for continuance, rejection, or adoption as a statewide rule.

    (b) Regulation by District Court. In all cases not provided for by rule or statute the district court may regulate its practice in any proceeding properly before it in any manner not inconsistent with rules adopted by the court under N.D.R. Local Ct. P.R. or by the Supreme Court or with any applicable statute.
