 The rules shall be applied, construed, and enforced so as to avoid inconsistency with the rules of court and statutes governing proceedings, functions, and services of this court. In their application and administration, they shall be construed and employed so as to provide fairness and simplicity in procedure, to avoid technical and unjustifiable delay, and to secure just, expeditious and inexpensive determinations of all actions and proceedings.

 These rules are intended to be supplemental and are to be used in conjunction with the following rules:

 1. Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure,

 2. Ohio Rules of Criminal Procedure,

 3. Ohio Rules of Superintendence,

 4. Ohio Traffic Rules,

 5. Rules of Superintendence of the Supreme Court of Ohio,

 6. All amendments or supplements thereto as may occur from time to time.

 These local rules are not to be interpreted in any way that will conflict with the various Ohio Rules and should any conflict or contradiction be found, the Ohio Rules shall, in all cases, prevail over the Supplemental Local Rules as per Ohio Civil Procedure Rule 83.

 The rules of practice of the Common Pleas Court of Miami County , Ohio may be followed when a situation arises for which no provision has been made.

 These rules shall supersede all previous rules adopted by any Judge or Judges of the Miami County Municipal Court.
