The need for at least one continental language has
now generally been admitted by our educators. We,
in the legal profession, have yet to admit the need
for some training in international law, which, as
the world shrinks, becomes more and more necessary
with every year that passes.
There is no doubt whatsoever that this world
confernce has given, for those, at any rate, who
attended it, a considerable impetus to the establish
ment of objectives to obtain world peace through
the rule of law. One may be sceptical of the success
of these objectives and one may be perhaps confused
as to how these objectives may, in the future, be
achieved, but it is true to say that there is no doubt
that, after attending this conference, one is not as
sceptical nor as confused as one was before. Neither
is there any doubt that it is the intention of the
sponsors of the conference to press forward vigor
ously on the lines directed by the conference. How
this is to be done remains to be seen. There is a long
road ahead and the end may never be reached. It
has to be admitted that, in the last result, final success
can only be achieved when the governments of the
world agree to use the international court of justice
to settle disputes. At present this can be no more
than an ideal, a Utopian hope. But at any rate a
beginning has been made.
JOHN CARRIGAN.
THE DISTRICT COURT
The District Court Rules Committee, with the
concurrence of the Minister for Justice, have made
rules, to come into operation on 2nd March, 1964,
revoking the existing rules relating to Default and
Special Default procedures for the recovery of a
Debt or Liquidated Money Demand and prescribing
new procedures for the marking of Judgment in the
Office in such cases. Further Rules, which come into
operation on the same date, have also been made,
regulating the practice and procedure of the District
Court, in relation to proceedings founded on Hire
Purchase Agreements, for the recovery of possession
of goods solely or together with any other claim and
prescribing forms of Civil Process and Decree
relating thereto in compliance with the provisions
of the Hire Purchase Acts. It is anticipated that these
statutory instruments will be available for purchase
from the Government publications Sale Office,
towards the end ofNovember, 1963, and the attention
of Members is drawn to these new rules so that they
may avoid over purchasing all the forms presently
in use in relation to the default and special default
procedure and in addition the present forms of
ordinary Civil Process and Ordinary Decree as
both of the latter will on the coming into operation
of the New Rules, have only limited application.
