After incorporating the above-mentioned amendments, a new edition of the Rules of Procedure of Bangladesh Parliament as amended up to 5th February, 1992 was published.

After the said edition, the House on the 24th July, 1996 set up the Standing Committee on Rules of Procedure, with the Speaker as Chairman, for the purpose of amending the Rules of Procedure and thereafter the Standing Committee on Rules of Procedure and its Sub-Committee met in thirteen meetings from the 4th August, 1996 to the 8th May, 1997 and prepared a report recommending amendments to Rule 247 of the Rules of Procedure.

Maxims of Equity

Maxims of Equity 1. EQUITY WILL NOT SUFFER A WRONG TO BE WITHOUT A REMEDY Meaning Where there is a right there is a remedy. This idea is expressed in the Latin Maxim ubi jus ibi remedium . It means that no wrong should go unredressed if it is capable of being remedied by courts. This maxim indicates the width of the scope and the basis of on which the structure of equity rests. This maxim imports that where the common law confers a right, it gives also a remedy or right of action for interference with or infringement of that right. Application and cases In Ashby v.
