Rule 16.103 Relationship to other court rules

Here's a plain English summary:

When it comes to electronic filing, these rules take priority. If any other Iowa court rule says something different or conflicts with these electronic filing rules, the electronic filing rules win out. This applies to cases that are filed electronically from the start, as well as cases that started on paper but were later switched over to electronic filing.

In simple terms, this rule settles any confusion about which rules to follow. If you're dealing with an electronically filed case and you find a conflict between these rules and some other court rule, follow the rules in this chapter.
