Art. 713 Applicability

This rule simply states that the rules in this chapter always apply. There are no exceptions or special situations where these rules would be set aside. Every case that falls under this part of the law must follow the chapter's requirements.

The rules are meant to be used consistently across all cases covered by this chapter, without exceptions based on the facts of an individual case.
