DUBLIN SOLICITORS' BAR

ASSOCIATION

A Meeting of the Council was held on Wednesday,

5th November, 1958. Permission was given to a non-

member employed by a local authority to adapt the

Association's form of contract for sale to his pur

poses. The desirability of reverting to the use of an

adhesive stamp on the Request for lodgement of

funds with defence at the Bank of Ireland instead of

the impressed stamp required by the Supreme Court

and High Court (Fees) Order, 1956 was considered,

and in view of the inconvenience caused by the use

of an impressed stamp on this form, it was decided to

make representations to the appropriate quarters.

It was reported that there is now a two months

delay for ex parte applications under the Enforce

ment of Court Orders Acts in the Dublin Metro

politan District, and it was decided to make represen

tations to reduce this delay to what it should be, and

what it formerly was, namely a matter of days. The

Meeting noted that the schedule of costs under the

Enforcement of Court Orders Acts used in the

Metropolitan Area is likely to be introduced into the

County Area, and welcomed

this

further step

towards uniformity.

The next Meeting of the Council was fixed for

Wednesday, 3rd December, 1958.
