APPEAL DISMISSED BY PRIVY COUNCIL.
IMPORTANT CASE.
Mt. Albert Borough Council v. T. and G. Society. EFFECT OF LEGISLATION. United Press Association. —Copyright. (Received 10 a.m.) LONDON, October 18. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has dismissed the appeal of the Mount Albert Borough Council, Auckland, from a decision of the New Zealand Court of Appeal in favour of the Teniperancw and General Life Society. The appeal was a test case taken to determine the effect of certain Victorian State legislation, passed during the depression, upon advances made by Victorian companies to local bodies in New Zealand. It affects at least 23 local bodies and considerably more than £1,000,000 of debt. Certain preliminary questions were removed from the Supreme Court to the Court of Appeal, which decided that the proper law of contract applicable was the law of New Zealand. It was from this decision that the Mount Albert Borough Council appealed to the l'rivy Council.
