Order 62 of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules 2025 is about Miscellaneous Provisions. It contains the following rules:

1. Where no provision is made by these Rules or by any other
   written law for taking any procedural step or action, the
   Court or the Chief Registrar, as the case may be, shall adopt
   a procedure or make an Order that accords with substantial
   justice.

2. All fines, forfeitures, pecuniary penalties and costs ordered
   to be paid may be levied by distress, seizure and sale of the
   movable and immovable property of the person making
   default in payment.
3. When the publication of any notice is required, it may be
   made by advertisement in the Federal Gazette or a
   National Daily Newspaper, unless otherwise provided in
   any particular case by any rule of Court or otherwise
   ordered by the Court.

4. Any process or document shall not be filed unless it has
   endorsed on it the name, suit number of the cause, date of
   filing and whether filed by claimant or defendant; and on
   being filed such endorsement shall be initialled by the
   Registrar and recorded in the process register.
5. All warrants and orders of whatever description shall be
   sufficiently addressed for execution by being directed to
   the sheriff; but this provision shall not prevent any order or
   warrant from being addressed to a person by name or to a
   person named and to officers of Court generally or to the
   Area Council Authority.

6. No filing fee or penalty for late filing shall be paid by any
   Government Department in respect of any proceedings
   before the Court.

   and disposal of fees and the duties of Court officers in that
