COMMENT TO 2017 AMENDMENTS

Stylistic changes were made to this rule to conform with the 2007 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

COMMENT

Rule 7 -I is identical to former Rule 43 -II. The location of the Rule was changed in order to avoid the impression that stipulations are limited to evidentiary matters.
