Box 55 contains Bentham's ideas for a Procedure Code which would regulate how courts should operate. The Procedure code was part of Bentham’s overall plan for a ‘Pannomion’ – a complete code of law. In this material Bentham considered the operation, nomenclature, costs and personnel of the courts.

• Folios 1 to 14: Procedure - Procedure in general; [1823–7]
• Folios 15 to 109: Procedure Code - Ends of judicature, all-embracing arrangements, judicial abuse, judicial application, litiscontestional proxies; [1823-27]
