--(1) Where the court makes an order or gives directions the court must whenever practicable also specify the consequences of failure to comply.
--(2) Where a party has failed to comply with any of these Rules, a direction or any court order, any sanction for non-compliance imposed by the rule or the court order has effect unless the party in default applies for and obtains relief from the sanction, and rule 26.8 shall not apply.
(Rule 26.7 deals with the circumstances in which the court may grant relief from a sanction. Part 66 deals with the power to make orders as to costs by way of sanction)
Notes
Amended by Legal Notice 233 of 2005.
It was held by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in The Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago v. Keron Matthews [2011] UKPC 38 that rule 26.6(2) only includes those sanctions explicitly specified and imposed by any rule, direction or court order and not to any "implied" sanctions.
