APPEALS FROM CIRCUIT JUDGES'
DECISIONS.
In the Dail on Wednesday, 29th February :
MR. LITTLE (for Mr. Ruttledge) asked the
Minister for Justice whether he proposes
taking any steps to alter the present expensive
and unsatisfactory system of Appeals from
Circuit Court decisions.
MR. FITZGERALD-KENNEY.—Whether the
present system of appeals from Circuit Court
decisions
requires amendment cannot be
decided until the new Circuit Court Rules,
which I intend to bring before both Houses
of the Oireachtas within the next month,
have been in operation for a reasonable space
of time.
MR. LITTLE.—Is the Minister aware that
there is considerable inconvenience caused
to the profession by the delay in holding up
the Rules of the Circuit Court ?
MR. FITZGERALD-KENNEY.—That
is so.
The Circuit Court Rules have been very
considerably delayed, but questions of great
difficulty arose on their drafting, and I am
glad to say now they are practically all
solved.
It was not by any means an easy
undertaking.
It is necessary to make the
Rules, not perfect, but as nearly perfect as
we can to begin with.
I can assure the
Deputy that we did not spare ourselves in
the task.
CAPTAIN REDMOXD.—Would the Minister
consider the advisability. of having a general
review of the working of the Courts of Justice
Act with a view to possible improvement and
amendment ?
MR. FITZGERALD-KENNEY.—Is the Deputy
now speaking on the question of Appeals ?
CAPTAIN REDMOND.—No, not only on
Appeals.
MR. FITZGERALD-KENNEY.—There are
certain matters on which
the Courts of
Justice Act would require certain amend
ments, and amendments will be submitted
to this House very soon.
