In the absence of any governing rule and/or if no procedure is especially prescribed, the Court and
parties shall proceed in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States, the
Federal Rules of Civil and Criminal Procedure, these Rules, or any applicable statute with the aims of securing
a just determination, simplicity in procedure, fairness in administration and the elimination of unjustifiable
expense and delay and of avoiding surprise and injustice. In such instances, the procedure and practice of the
Courts of the State of New Jersey may be considered for guidance.
