"NO LAXITY"
HULES OF PEOCEDUEE
An indication that he would not countenance laxity in the observance of the rules regarding discovery and other rules of procedure was given by his Honour the Chief Justice (Sir Michael Myers) during the hearing of an action for damages in the Supreme Court today.
His Honour said he had noticed that affidavits were brought before the Court time and again to the effect: "I am informed, etc." . Sometimes statements of consequence were made. There was a rule, , where a statement was made of that kind, that the source of information and ground of beliet' should be stated, and that was.a rule which to his mind must be insisted upon. There must bo no laxity with regard to the obedience of the rules to which he had referred.
