Actions Set Down For Hearing Acceptance of Sum Paid Into Court In Satisfaction of a Claim Practitioners are advised that a Court Order for payment out is no longer required where a Notice of Acceptance of money lodged in Court is served pursuant to Order 22 rule 4, as inserted by R.S.C. (No. 1 of 1970), in an action which has been set down for hearing. Prior to making application to the Accountant, however, practi- tioners must inform the Chief Registrar in writing that the Action has been settled and may be taken out of the relevant list for trial, quoting both Record Numb er and List Number. A copy of such written notification should be lodged with the Accountant when making an applica- tion for payment out. EAMONN G. MONGEY Chief Registrar • Guardianship of Infants Act, 1964 Family Law (Maintenance of Spouses and Children) Act, 1976 Family Law (Protection of Spouses and Children) Act, 1981 Having regard to the decision of Mr. Justice Ga n n on in R. -v- R. and The Attorney General, delivered on the 16th of February, 1984 the attention of practitioners is drawn to the following practice direction. In any case where relief is sought in The High Court, under any of the above-named Acts, the Summo ns shall be returnable before the Master in the ordinary way and thereafter shall be put in the list before the Judge sitting for Family Law on a Friday Motion day. The parties must on that occasion attend and submit such evidence or arguments as they see fit as to whether the case is one appropriate for The High Court to exercise its jurisdiction under one or other of the above Acts, or whether it is a case which should be remitted to the Circuit Court or District Court. A decision will then be made on that issue and, depending upon the nature of that decision, the case will be listed for hearing. Such listing will not determine the appropriate scale of costs, if any, to be awarded, which will be subject to the provisions of Section 17(4) of Courts Act, 1981. • Restriction on Local Authority Officers engaging in Private Practice The Minister for the Environment has recently made a statutorv instrument (No. 69/1984) entitled LOCAL GOV E RNME NT ( OF F I CERS) REGULAT I ONS 1984 under which the holders of wholetime offices, the qualifi- cations for which are wholly or in part professional, are to be restricted f r om engaging in private practice in the profession in which they are employed by the Local Authority or Local Authorities or in any cognate profession.
