Dublin Corporation — Sealing of Documents With effect from the 2nd January next the fee payable to Dublin Cor- poration for the approval/sealing of documents will be £15.00 per document and the fee for taking up documents on accountable receipt will also be £1 5.00. • Malicious Injury Acts, 1 9 8 1 - 86 The following is the text of a Prac- tice Note issued on 30 October 1987, by the President of the District Court. In regard to the weekly malicious injury list in District Court No. 10, Dolphin House, Essex Street East, Dublin 2, a practice has grown up whereby claims which have been adjourned generally (presumably by reason of settlements) are re- entered and again adjourned generally. In some instances there is a repetition of this procedure

should be furnished. The practice accordingly grew up of seeking on closing a Certificate that there were no voluntary dispositions within the previous 10 years. The Certificate mentioned above as to deaths or voluntary dispositions within the 1 2 year period covers in addition to dispositions which might give rise to CAT liability any dispositions for which a Declara- tion of Solvency will be required. A Certificate that there were no vol- untary disposition for the previous 10 years would be adequate for Bankruptcy purposes but inade- quate for Gift Tax purposes (Gift Tax being a Charge for 12 years). The Committee recommends that the former practice with regard to registered land of obtaining a Cer- tificate that there were no deaths on title within the last 12 years and no voluntary dispositions on title within the last 10 years should be altered and a Certificate should be obtained that there were no Deaths of Voluntary disposition within the last 12 years. •

over many months. This is a time- wasting exercise for the Courts, for Court Officials and staff and for the parties, their witnesses and legal advisors. I understand that a number of Claims, adjourned generally from time to time, have in fact been re-entered for weekly Court lists for some months to come. In regard to these, in order to give all parties adequate notice, it is pro- posed that applications to further adjourn generally may be entertain- ed up to and including the Court list for 28th January, 1988, and thereafter any claims should be relisted only for consent Decrees or for hearing on the relisted date or on a date to be fixed by the Court, or for such other order as the Court sees fit. I would ask for the co-operation of solicitors for applicants and Local Authorities in the implement- ation of this new procedure which is intended for the benefit of all, and in the interest of efficiency in Court administration. •
