Chief Justice Rabner issued an order stating that Rule 2:12-5, which had required a deposit for costs in connection with petitions for certification, has been deleted. That lines up with the recent omnibus rule amendment, discussed here, which deleted Rule 2:5-2. That Rule likewise required a deposit for costs, but at the Appellate Division level. The deletion of Rule 2:12-5 is effective on September 12, 2022, while the omnibus rule amendment is effective tomorrow, September 1.
