THROWN AT THE COURT
LATE FILING OF PAPERS
"I feel half inclined to say I won't hear tlie eases," said the Chief Justice (Sir Michael Myers) in the SupremoCourt today, referring to the late hour at which certain documents in the proceedings before the Court had been filed. The papers, his Honour commented, .had been "thrown at the Court." "There is a little too much of this practice being adopted," said his Honour. "For myself I will refuse-to read papers' that are—l use the term advisedly—thrown.'at the Court at the last moment contrary.to the rules, or else I 1 shall adjourn the case or application, as the',case may bo, and some party or his advisers will find it an expensive proceeding. I repeat that it is neither carrying out the rules nor is it respectful to the Court."
