§ 34. Mr. R. Morganasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the considerable amount of additional work entailed, and the waste of public money involved in bringing domestic disputes of a minor character before the Supreme Court, such as the recent appeal 390 of Mrs. W. Wood of Nairobi, to the Supreme Court of Kenya, he will consider the possibility of the setting up of special labour courts, or of taking some other steps where such cases could be dealt with efficiently and speedily?
Mr. M, MacDonaldI understand that the case to which my hon. Friend refers only came before the Supreme Court because the magistrate had stated a case on a question of law for the opinion of the Supreme Court, which is the proper place for points of law to be decided. I see no occasion, therefore, for adopting the course which my hon. Friend suggests.
