LAND JUDGE'S COURT.
THE following letter has been received in
reply to the request of the Council that the
Land
Judge
should
issue
directions
to
Solicitors having carriage, as to filling of
forms, and dealing with provisional valuations
affecting lands for sale in the Court, or over
which Receivers have been appointed.
High Court of Justice (Ireland),
Chancery Division, Land Court,
30th July, 1912.
SIR,
I have been in consultation with the Land
Judge in reference to your letter of the 17th
instant, and the memorandum from the
Council of the Incorporated Law Society
which accompanied it.
The Land Judge has instructed me to
prepare regulations in reference to the mode
of dealing with forms and provisional valua
tion issued by the Commissioners of Inland
Revenue under the Finance (1909-10) Act,
1910, in reference to lands which are for sale
in this Court, or over which Receivers have
been appointed.
I have submitted a rough draft of such
regulations to the Land Judge, but having
regard to the time of the year I do not think
it probable these regulations can be formally
approved of until the Sittings re-open in
October or November.
The draft I have made provides that when
such forms or provisional valuations are sent
to the Receiver Office they shall be forwarded
to the Solicitor having carriage of the pro
ceedings of the suit or matter to which they
relate.
That such Solicitor shall
furnish
the
information required by such forms, and in
the case of provisional valuations shall make
such claims for site value deductions as he
considers to be just in the interest of the
estate, and that if such deductions are not
allowed he shall take the directions of the
Land Judge as to the desirability of an
appeal under Section 33.
The draft also contains provisions for
remuneration being given to the Solicitor for
his work in connection with these matters
and, subject to review by the Land Judge,
empowers the Receiver Examiner'to fix such
remuneration.
