DOMESTIC CASES
BILL AMENDED
COMMITTEE'S REPORT
When the Domestic Proceedings Bill Avas originally introduced in the House of Representatives this session it contained a provision that its operation should commence at the beginning of next month. This date has been altered to November 1 by the Statutes Revision Committee, whose report was presented to the House yesterday afternoon by the chairman, Mr. F. W. Schramm (Government, Auckland East).
According to a new clause in the Bill no statement or admission made to a conciliator shall be used in any court of IaAV. If the attempt to effect a reconciliation is unsuccessful or if it is desired that the Magistrate should make an order to give effect to any agreement betAveen the parties, the conciliator may report to the Magistrate accordingly. The clause in the original Bill authorising a conciliator to report statements by a. husband or Avife to a Magistrate provided their consent had been given has been struck out by the Committee.
The restrictions imposed by the original Bill on the publication of reports of domestic proceedings before a Magistrate had been deleted, and the Committee has inserted a clause to provide for the issue of attachment orders against superannuation or retiring allowances.
The Committee's report was adopted by the House.
