International Institute for Legal and Administrative
Terminology. French-English glossary of French Legal
Terms on European Treaties. London, Sweet & Max-
well, and Munich, Langenscheidt, 1972; 8vo; pp. 64;
£1.50.
This little glossary is absolutely indispensable to all
practitioners who will have business to transact with the
European Commission, or the European Court of Jus-
tice. It is the twelfth volume of the European glossary
of Legal and Administrative Terminology. It explains
that a "demande reconventionelle" is a counterclaim
and that a "decision á titre préjudiciel" is nothing less
than a preliminary ruling. The practitioner who will
have mastered the terms in this little book will have
no difficulty in discussing legal problems with his French
colleagues.
The Lawyer's Diary—1972-1973 edited by J. F. Mason
and Sweet & Maxwell's Legal Editorial Staff; London,
Sweet & Maxwell, 1972; 8vo; pp. 190, plus single page
diary for every working day (Monday to Friday).
This is a complimentary volume to Butterworth's
"Lawyer's Remembrancer" inasmuch as what is not
contained in the one volume is likely to be contained in
the other. This diary contains calendars from 1971 to
1975, and methods of ascertaining any day of the week
from 1851 to 2000, it also contains English postal infor-
mation, conveyancing costs, probate fees, bankruptcy
lists, and British Income Tax. The large single page for
appointments on working days is a great boon.
The Lawyer's Remembrancer edited for 1973 by A. L.
Summers; London, Butterworth, 1972; 12vo; pp. 350
plus 52 weekly calendar; £2.60.
Messrs Butterworth are to be congratulated upon their
(1) the provisions of the Land Act, 1965, regard-
the right of establishment in certain cases;
(2) the provision of the Companies Act, 1963, regard-
ing the distribution of accounts in certain cases;
(3) the provision of the Road Transport Acts restrict-
ing liberalisation of licensing requirements for specified
types of transport;
(4) the provision of the Aliens Act, 1935, and Aliens
Order restricting the free movement of persons and
services;
(5) the provision of the Court of Justice Acts in so
far as they prohibit the European Court of Justice from
assuming jurisdiction to give preliminary rulings in
conditions contemplated by the Treaty of Rome, and
finally
(6) the Enforcement of Court Order Acts, 1926 and
1940, by which henceforth certain decisions of the
Community Institutions will have to be enforced.
There appear to be altogether 1095 Regulations, 161
Directives, 6 Recommendations and 203 Decisions
which will become part of Irish domestic law on 1
January 1973.
annual publication,
The Lawyer's Remembrancer,
which
contains much useful information, such as names of
High Court and Circuit Court Judges, Recorders, Cir-
cuit Administrators, Stipendiary Magistrates, Under-
Sherriffs, Legal Aid Offices, College of Law and Council
of Education, Law Report Abbreviations, Architect's
Fees and Stock Exchange Information. Under Commer-
cial Abbreviations, we find that "N / a" means no
advice, whereas " n / a" stands for non-acceptance. The
rules about counsels' fees, county court proceedings and
costs, High Court proceedings and costs, etc., are clearly
explained. It is interesting to note that under "Auc-
tioneer's fees" the 5 per cent rate on sale only applies
to the first £500, then there is a 2.5 per cent scale up
to £5,000, and a 1.5 per cent on the residue; the
uniform 5 per cent applied in Ireland is unknown.
There are also useful notes on Registration of Title and
searches and inquiries. Irish practitioners who wish to
learn the current English practice in all these matters
would be well advised to purchase this book.
Annual Survey of Commonwealth Law 1971. London,
Butterworths, 1972; 8vo, pp. xxxv plus 712; £14.
Members who are acquainted with the previous vol-
umes ip this series after 1965, will appreciate the
immense amount of labour which is required to produce
this unique survey, which includes the most important
decisions of the particular year from Courts in all parts
of the Commonwealth. This si an invaluable medium
for the study of comparative law, as each legal subject
has been edited by an expert in the subject, like Dr.
Yardley for Fundamental Rights, Dr. Simpson for Real
Property Law, Dr. Brownlie for International Law, and
Dr. Paul O'Higgins for Labour Law; almost all of the
writers are dons in either Oxford or Cambridge. There
is an unfortunate tendency to dismiss Irish cases in a
few lines, if not in a footnote, with the result that the
