County Court Rules.
A letter was read from the Northern Law
Society, enclosing copy of memorandum
which •
had been sent by that Society to
the County Courts rule-making authority,
containing a request for the amendment
of Order VIII., Rule 6, and of Order
XVI., Rule 2, of the County Court Rules of
1890.
The objects of
these amendments are
(Order VIII., Rule 6) to permit the name of
a firm of Solicitors to be entered on the
record for a plaintiff, or defendant, not more
than one member of such firm to appear or
take part in the conduct of any one case,
and (Order XVI., Rule 2) to permit, in the
case of sickness or unavoidable absence of
the Solicitor on record, another Solicitor,
being a Solicitor usually practising in the
particular Court, to appear for such party in
his stead.
The Council
approved of
these
two
suggested amendments, and decided so to
inform the Lord Chancellor and County
Court Judges, and to request that rules
in the amended form suggested should be
made.
