CHAPTER V.—Provisions as to the Operations of the Code.
Cases arising not covered by this code.Sect. 614. Rights of civil action, given or secured by existing laws, shall be prosecuted in the manner provided by this code. If a case ever arise in which an action for the enforcement or protection of a right, or the redress or prevention of a wrong, cannot be had under this code, the practice heretofore in use may be adopted, so far as may be necessary to prevent a failure of justice.
Sect. 615.
When actions shall be conducted in conformity to this code.Sect. 616. Where, by statute, a civil action, legal or equitable, is given, and the mode of proceeding therein is prescribed, this code shall not affect the proceedings under such statute, until the legislature shall otherwise provide; but, in all such cases, as far as it may be consistent with the statute giving such action, and practicable under this code, the proceedings shall be conducted in conformity thereto. Where the statute designates, by name or otherwise, the kind of action, but does not prescribe the mode of proceeding therein, such action shall be commenced and prosecuted in conformity to this code; where the statute gives an action, but does not designate the kind of action, or prescribe the mode of proceeding therein, such action shall be held to be the civil action of this code, and proceeded in accordingly.
Take effect, when.Sect. 617. This act shall take effect from and after its passage.
