Rule 1. Scope of Rules and Construction

(a) Scope: These Rules govern the practice and procedure in all cases and proceedings in the United States Tax Court. Where in any instance there is no applicable rule of procedure, the Court or the Judge before whom the matter is pending may prescribe the procedure, giving particular weight to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to the extent that they are suitably adaptable to govern the matter at hand.

(b) Construction: These Rules shall be construed to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every case.
