§ 50. Sir J. D. REESasked whether His Majesty's Government proposes to legislate so as to give effect to the dissenting judgment of Lord Justice Buckley in the recent case of the Continental Tyre and Rubber Company (Great Britain), Limited v. Daimler Company, Limited?
§ Sir J. SIMONParliament has already made full provision, in the Trading with the Enemy Acts, to deal with the dangers or difficulties that might otherwise arise from the law as laid down by the majority of the Court of Appeal, and further legislation does not appear to be required.
§ Sir J. D. REESIs it not the case that as the law now stands, by technical compliance practically a foreign company obtains advantages which should be restricted to British companies? Is not that the effect of the judgment?
§ Sir J. SIMONNo, I do not think it is.
§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSHas the right hon. Gentleman considered the very important statement by Lord Lindley on this matter urging that the law should be altered?
