Rules of Court.
No Rules of Court for any of the Courts
set up under the Courts of Justice Act, 1924,
have yet been approved by either of the
Houses of the Oireachtas. Both Houses have
adjourned until the first week in November,
and as Section 101 of the Act provides that:
" No Rules of Court made under this Act shall
come into operation unless and until they
have been laid before each house of the
Oireachtas, and have been approved by
Resolution of each of such House," no Rules
under the Act can come into operation before
November next.
Circuit Court Appeals.
The Council have
received
from
the
County and City of Limerick Sessional Bar
Association the following resolution, passed
by the Committee of that Association on
the 2nd July :
Resolved : " That as it has been found
" that the present practice of hearing Appeals
" from the Circuit Court is inconvenient,
" expensive, and in every way unsatisfactory
" both to the Bar, Solicitors and their clients,
" we are of opinion that the system of having
" said Appeals heard by the High Court on
" notes of evidence should be discontinued,
" and that all said Appeals should be heard
j
" on
viva voce
evidence before either Judges
j
" of
the High Court or Commissioners
j
" appointed
for
that purpose sitting at
" various local centres."
The Council request
the Sessional Bar
Associations of
the Irish Free State
to
consider this resolution, and communicate
their views thereon to the Secretary of the
Incorporated Law Society of Ireland, 45
Kildare Street, Dublin.
