==South Australia==

The ''Common Law Procedure Act 1852'' (15 and 16 Vic., c. 76) was enacted prior to the promulgation of the Colonial Laws Validity Act 1865 and while it was repealed in England, continued to apply by paramount force in South Australia. 
The Supreme Court Act 1935<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/sa/consol_act/sca1935183/ | title=Supreme Court Act 1935 (South Australia) | publisher=Austlii | accessdate=22 May 2016}}</ref> grants to the Supreme Court of South Australia the like jurisdiction exercised by both the common law and equity courts of England prior to the enactment of the Judiciary Acts which included the initiation of a personal jurisdiction over a person in a case by virtue of the issue of a writ of summons. The judges of the Court were given power to regulate the procedure of the Court within jurisdiction and preserved the Rules of Court extant in 1935, for cases not otherwise provided for. The writ of summons is the common originating process, but takes a form approved under the present rules.
