should be furnished. The practice
accordingly grew up of seeking on
closing a Certificate that there
were no voluntary dispositions
within the previous 10 years. The
Certificate mentioned above as to
deaths or voluntary dispositions
within the 1 2 year period covers in
addition to dispositions which
might give rise to CAT liability any
dispositions for which a Declara-
tion of Solvency will be required. A
Certificate that there were no vol-
untary disposition for the previous
10 years would be adequate for
Bankruptcy purposes but inade-
quate for Gift Tax purposes (Gift
Tax being a Charge for 12 years).
The Committee recommends that
the former practice with regard to
registered land of obtaining a Cer-
tificate that there were no deaths
on title within the last 12 years and
no voluntary dispositions on title
within the last 10 years should be
altered and a Certificate should be
obtained that there were no Deaths
of Voluntary disposition within the
last 12 years.

Malicious Injury Acts,
1 9 8 1 - 86
The following is the text of a Prac-
tice Note issued on 30 October
1987, by the President of the
District Court.
In regard to the weekly malicious
injury list in District Court No. 10,
Dolphin House, Essex Street East,
Dublin 2, a practice has grown up
whereby claims which have been
adjourned generally (presumably by
reason of settlements) are re-
entered and again adjourned
generally. In some instances there
is a repetition of this procedure
over many months. This is a time-
wasting exercise for the Courts, for
Court Officials and staff and for the
parties, their witnesses and legal
advisors.
I understand that a number of
Claims, adjourned generally from
time to time, have in fact been
re-entered for weekly Court lists
for some months to come. In
regard to these, in order to give all
parties adequate notice, it is pro-
posed that applications to further
adjourn generally may be entertain-
ed up to and including the Court list
for 28th January, 1988, and
thereafter any claims should be
relisted only for consent Decrees or
for hearing on the relisted date or
on a date to be fixed by the Court,
or for such other order as the Court
sees fit.
I would ask for the co-operation
of solicitors for applicants and
Local Authorities in the implement-
ation of this new procedure which
is intended for the benefit of all,
and in the interest of efficiency in
Court administration.
