Rates of Disposal of Jury

Actions in the High Court

In a speech delivered at the Annual Dinner Dance of

Limerick Bar Association, the Minister for Justice quoted

some interesting statistics of the average number of jury

actions disposed of in the High Courts sitting outside

Dublin since Michaelmas 1982. The average numbers of

cases disposed of per week were:—

Dundalk

Limerick

Kilkenny

Sligo

Galway

Cork

The Minister also noted that the volume of business

being entered in the High Court is showing a marked

decrease presumably due to the effect of the coming into

force of the Courts Act. The Minister also noted that there

were delay problems in the Circuit Court, particularly on

the civil side, and confirmed that he was having the

position in the Circuit Court examined as a matter of

urgency. •

Notification of List Number

The Litigation Committee of the Law Society have

considered the question of whether the Plaintiffs

Solicitors should in all cases notify Defendants' Solicitors

of the list number when setting an action down.
