HC Deb 20 February 1924 vol 169 c1804W
Major S. STEWART

asked the Attorney-General whether he is aware that in the divorce registry appointments to tax costs cannot be made until from four and a half months to six months after the hearing of the petition; and whether steps can be taken to obviate this delay?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I am informed that appointments are being made at the present time to deal with the taxation of bills of costs filed about three months ago. An Assistant Registrar was appointed on the 13th instant, and with his assistance it is hoped to dispose of the arrears.
