Dear Sir, As you are no doubt aware, Judge McWilliam in the High Court on April 18 last declared Parts II & IV of the Rent Restrictions Acts unconstitutional.

To assist your Members, I enclose copy of Judge McWilliam's Order and a copy of the Judgment, which you could make availabe to Practitioners, if they require same. I also enclose copy Notice of Appeal and wish to confirm that the Attorney General has in fact appealed the case and it is expected that the hearing will come on in the Supreme Court in or around November next. I will keep the Society informed of developments. Yours sincerely,
