§ Mr. Christopher Priceasked the Attorney-General why the council of the judges of the Court of Appeal and the High Court has not met or reported for the last four years in accordance with the Supreme Court of Judicature (Consolidation) Act 1925.
§ The Attorney-GeneralSection 210 of the Judicature Act is a re-enactment of corresponding provision in the original Act of 1873 enacted when there were comparatively few judges of the Supreme Court. There are now 91 and it is only on rare occasions that an issue arises which is of sufficient importance to justify the inconvenience involved in summoning all the judges to a meeting to discuss matters falling within the scope of Section 210.
