Actions for Account.
The Secretary
reported
that
in
the
appeal, taken with the support of the Council,
in the case of
Tonge and Taggart
v.
Mulvey,
being an action for an account and for pay–
ment of balance found due, and in which,
after the taking of the account in Chambers,
a sum of less than £20 was found to be due,
and judgment was given for the amount
found due with costs of action, the order of
the Chancery Judge appealed against and
which had confirmed the ruling of the Taxing
Master, deciding that Order LXV., Rule 3,
applied in such circumstances, and that such
costs of action as would follow from the
recovery of less than £20 should only be
allowed, had been reversed.
The Court of Appeal, reversing the order,
held that Order LXV., Rule 3, did not apply
in
the case, and that the Plaintiff was
entitled to full costs, and granted to the
Plaintiff the costs of the appeal.
House of Lords Appeals.
A letter was read from the Lord Chancellor
of England to the President inviting the
opinion of the Council on a proposed amend–
ment of the Standing Orders of House of
Lords, whereby the period limited for lodging
an appeal to the House of Lords would be
reduced from within twelve to within six
months from the date of pronouncement of
judgment
appealed
from.
The Council
expressed
approval
of
the
proposed
amendment.
