PRODUCTION OF MAPS IN CIRCUIT
COURT
CASES.
The Council having directed a letter to be
written to the County Registrar of Dublin,
requesting the attention of the Circuit Court
Judges of Dublin to the desirability of their
settling an uniform practice in the matter of
production of maps in collision cases heard
before them, has received a reply from the
County
Registrar
stating
that
Judge
Shannon and Judge Roche have considered
the matter, and that their views are as
follows :
(1) It is impossible to lay down a hard and
fast rule to guide the practitioners.
Whether the Solicitor for plaintiff or
defendant will in any case produce a
map, must be left to a large extent to
the judgment and experience of the
Solicitor. A lot must depend upon the
geographical situation and peculiarities
of the
locus in quo,
and the points to
be made for or against either party.
(2) Their Lordships are aware that the
question of expense must often be a
deterrent factor.
In
no
case where a
party's means do not reasonably permit
the expense of a map will one be
required.
(3) In the following cases a map will, as a
rule, not be necessary :
(a)
City cases ;
(b)
where the accident took place at
right angle cross roads, unless some
special
attention is directed to the
boundaries,
i.e.,
walls, hedges, build–
ings, etc., of these roads as affording or
