Rule 1-086 Repealing and saving clause.

If a court had older rules about how to handle cases (like filing paperwork or following certain steps), those older rules still count. They stay valid and usable unless one of these new rules specifically changes them, cancels them, or takes their place.

In simple terms, this rule protects older procedures from disappearing just because new rules were written. Nothing gets thrown out automatically. An old rule only stops applying if a new rule directly conflicts with it, replaces it, or cancels it. Otherwise, both old and new rules work together.

This matters for anyone dealing with a case, because it means you cannot assume that new rules erase everything that came before them. You may still need to follow certain older procedures if they were never specifically changed or removed by the newer rules.
