Full Text of Rule 1590
Plain-English Summary
This rule is a savings clause for the partition chapter. It provides that the rules governing partition of real property do not suspend or affect certain specified Acts of Assembly, so those statutes continue to apply alongside the rules.
The Official Note explains that one of them requires a tenant in possession to deduct certain amounts from its distributive share. Preserving these statutes keeps the legislature’s specialized partition-related provisions in force rather than letting the general rules displace them.
