Ark. R. Civ. P. 69

Adopted July 9, 1984, effective September 1, 1984.

Reporter’s Notes to Rule 69: Prior to 1984, there was no Rule 69. The Rule was adopted in 1984 to make the discovery procedures available to parties pursuing execution. The Rule is not intended to supersede the independent action for discovery found in Ark. Stat. Ann. §§ 30-901 through 30-908 (Repl. 1979), however, it supersedes Ark. Stat. Ann. § 30-906 (Repl. 1979), as it is to an extent duplicative of that section.
