APPEAL CASE
GISBORNE HARBOUR BOARD V. LYSNAR
Wellington, April 28
The Court of Appeal continued the hearing of argument in the cases between the Gisborne Harbour Board and George Henry Lysnar. The latter's counsel, Mr Barnard, cited further authorities in support of his argument that Section 57 of the Harbour Board Act did not compel the Harbour Board to call -.public tenders for work of the type referred to in the Board’s contract with Mr Lysnar. After Mr Myers had replied, Sir Robert Stout stated that the Court was of opinion that Section 57 of the Harbours Act, 1908, was mandatory, but the reasons of the Court would be put in writing.
The result of this expression of opinion by the Court will be that the appeal by the Gisborne Har hour Board will be allowed and the contract between Mr Lysnar and the Board declared valid.
