RULE 4:0. APPLICATION OF PART FOUR

(a) The Rules in this Part Four shall apply in civil cases in the circuit courts. They also shall apply to proceedings for separate maintenance, divorce or annulment of marriage, for the exercise of the right of eminent domain, and for writs of habeas corpus or in the nature of coram nobis as provided in Rule 4:1(b)(5). Whenever in this Part Four the word “action” appears it shall mean a civil case, whether the claims arise at law or in equity.

(b) No provision of any of the Rules in this Part Four shall affect the practice of taking evidence at trial in any action; but such practice, including that of generally taking evidence ore tenus in actions upon claims arising at law and of generally taking evidence by deposition in equitable claims, shall continue unaffected hereby.
