KING'S BENCH DIVISION (IRELAND).
(Before Boyd, J.)
In the Matter of an intended action,
Scott
v.
Crawford;
and in the Matter of the
Attorneys and Solicitors (Ireland) Act,
1849, and in the Matter of the Legal
Practitioners (Ireland) Act, 1876.
Dec.
21,
1909.
-—Solicitor—Bill of Costs—
Legal Practitioners (Ireland) Act,
1876—
Statute Law Revision Act,
1883—
Action
—
Reference.
A SOLICITOR who has delivered his bill of
costs may obtain leave of the Court, under
Section 2 of the Legal Practitioners (Ireland)
Act, 1876, to issue a writ for the recovery of
such costs, notwithstanding that the period
of a month has not expired from the date of
the delivery of the bill, on proof to the
satisfaction of the Judge that the party
chargeable is about to quit Ireland.
The Statute Law Revision Act, 1883 (46 &
47 Vict., c. 49), though repealing Section 2
of the Legal Practitioners (Ireland) Act,
1876, preserves the established jurisdiction
derived from the enactment repealed.
The plaintiff was a Solicitor, and a bill of
costs was owing to him by the defendant.
The bill of costs was served on Dec. 10, 1909.
On Dec. 15, 1909, an advertisement appeared
in the newspapers stating that the defendant
was selling by auction, on Dec. 20, 1909, his
house
property. On
enquiry
from
the
auctioneer, the plaintiff discovered, on Dec.
20, 1909, that the premises had been sold for
£250, and that the sale was to be completed
on Jan. 7, 1910. The plaintiff had been
informed by the defendant himself, while his
client, that he had made up his mind to leave
Ireland and go to America, and plaintiff
stated he verily believed that he intended to
realise all his property and leave the country.
These facts were stated on affidavit.
Boyd, J., in making the order asked for,
including a reference of the bill to taxation
and leave to issue the writ forthwith, said :—
It seems to me that the Statute Law Revision
Acts,
just as
in
this case, often repeal
beneficial and convenient provisions in former
Acts.
I have had experience of the same in
Bankruptcy.
I make the order.
