LAW REFORM ADVISORY COMMITTEE
This Committee under the Chairmanship of
the President of the High Court is a voluntary
body which has been set up to consider proposals
for law reform. The membership of the Com
mittee consists of representatives of both branches
of the legal profession, the law schools of the
universities and the Benchers of the Honourable
Society of King's Inns. Proposals for the reform
of legal procedure are being considered by an
official committee under
the Chairmanship of
the Honourable Mr. Justice Brian Walsh and
accordingly the Law Reform Advisory Committee
intends to confine its deliberations to proposals
for the improvement of the substance or content
of our laws as distinct from the reforms in legal
procedure.
At this stage the Committee is concerned with
drawing up a list of topics for investigation and
an order of priorities and it wishes to ascertain
the views of organisations which may be pre
pared to assist it in this task.
To illustrate the matters with which the Com
mittee may deal
it has been proposed that it
should investigate improvements in the law rela
ting to the sale of goods, judicial control of ad
ministrative action, occupiers liability and liability
for animals.
The Committee would find it very helpful if
suggestions for alterations in the law were ac
companied by a brief statement of the grounds
for the proposal.
In conclusion I would add that it is proposed
to complete
the preliminary list of
topics for
investigation at the January meeting of the Com
mittee and that it will be necessary for suggestions
to be
received by
the undermentioned on or
before the 7th day of January, 1967 to enable me
to bring
them before
the Committee at that
meeting.
