HC Deb 26 November 1914 vol 68 cc1324-5
27. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Attorney-General how often a Court has sat this term for the trial of undefended divorce causes; and whether the possibility of borrowing a judge from the King's Bench Division so that these cases can be heard without further delay will be considered?

Sir J. SIMON

A Court has sat this term on eight days for the trial of undefended divorce causes. The work of the Division is, I am informed, proceeding normally, and there is at present no unusual number of cases in arrear, and according to the present prospects there will be no difficulty in dealing with the present list. Both judges of the Division will be sitting next week taking divorce causes.
