CPC Section 4 — Savings

Civil

Summary

This section says that the Code of Civil Procedure does not override any special or local laws that are already in force, unless a specific provision in the Code says otherwise. It also protects any special powers, jurisdiction, or procedures given by other laws. In particular, it does not affect any right a landholder or landlord has under other laws to recover rent for agricultural land from the crops grown on that land.
