SITTINGS AND VACATIONS OF SUPREME
COURT AND HIGH COURT.
The Minister of Justice has signed new
Rules prepared by the Rules Committee
which will, in effect, replace Order XXXI of
the Rules of 1926. The principal alteration
effected by the new Rules is to appoint fixed
vacations in lieu of the former Easter and
Whit vacations, which will be independent
of the variation of Easter Sunday and Whit
Sunday in the calendar from year to year.
The new Rules were published
in
Iris
Oifigiuil on 27th November, 1942.
DISTRICT COURT RULES, 1941. No. 2.
The Rules which relate to the enforcement
of Court Orders abolished through an error
Forms 16 to 28 (relating to Ejectments and
other matters) printed in Schedule I Part II
of
the 1926 Rules.
It was apparently
intended to abolish Forms 21 to 28 which
relate to the enforcement of Court Orders
but Forms 16
to 20 were inadvertently
included. This obvious. mistake is now to
be rectified by The District Court Rules,
1942, published by the Stationery Office.
LAND REGISTRY FORM.
The attention of the Council has been
drawn to a clerical error in Form 22 in the
Schedule to the Land Registry Rules, 1937,
which is a form of voluntary transfer of free
hold Land, by a registered full owner, with a
power of revocation. The words " To revoke
the use hereby limited to E.F." in paragraph
2 should read " To revoke the use hereby
limited to C.B." and practitioners should
note this clerical error when using the form.
SCHOLARSHIP, 1942.
The Overend Final Examination Scholar
ship (Real Property and Conveyancing) has
been awarded to James A. Casey.
The .
Overend Preliminary Examination
Scholarship and the Findlater Scholarship
for 1942 will not be awarded.
