§ 971 Repealed by Laws 1990, c. 251, § 20, eff. Jan. 1, 1991.

This rule no longer exists. Oklahoma lawmakers removed it from the law books back in 1990, and the change took effect on January 1, 1991.

If you're looking at older legal documents or cases that mention this rule, keep in mind it doesn't apply to anything happening today. Courts and lawyers would need to look at whatever current rules replaced it, if any did, to understand how similar issues are handled now.

If you're researching a legal question and keep running into this rule, it's a sign you might be using outdated sources. It's worth checking a current version of Oklahoma's civil procedure laws to find the rule that actually governs the issue you're dealing with now.
