In a speech delivered at the Annual Dinner Dance of Limerick Bar Association, the Minister for Justice quoted some interesting statistics of the average number of jury actions disposed of in the High Courts sitting outside Dublin since Michaelmas 1982. The average numbers of cases disposed of per week were:—

83 69 61 58 57 43

Dundalk Limerick Kilkenny Sligo Galway Cork

The Minister also noted that the volume of business being entered in the High Court is showing a marked decrease presumably due to the effect of the coming into force of the Courts Act. The Minister also noted that there were delay problems in the Circuit Court, particularly on the civil side, and confirmed that he was having the position in the Circuit Court examined as a matter of urgency. • Notification of List Number The Litigation Committee of the Law Society have considered the question of whether the Plaintiffs Solicitor should advise the Defendant's Solicitor of the list number when setting an action down for Trial. It was decided to recommend that henceforth Plaintiffs' Solicitors should in all cases notify Defendants' Solicitors of the list number when setting an action down. •
