The Gazette 1971

ing legal system has far reaching and serious results. Delay brings the system into disrepute while repeated attendances and adjournments because cases are not reached is a cause of frustration and annoyance and expense to client and practitioner alike. The system of fixed dated for the trial of actions has been adopted in England with beneficial results and there is no reason why this country, although belatedly, should not follow the example. The Bill if enacted will come into operation on 1st January 1972. Bearing in mind that the District Court will now be a court of record it is essential that

rules of procedure for the extended jurisdiction should take effect in January 1972. When the jurisdiction in hire purchase matters was increased there were no rules for about six months some years ago and this should not be repeated. The obvious solution is that the bill should be amended to provide that the provisions will come into operation on a date to be appointed by regulation and the effective date should be postponed until all the necessary rules have been made and approved by the Minister.
