CROWN’S LEGAL BUSINESS
LONG-AWAITED NEW REGULATIONS [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, June 23. New regulations relative to the conduct of the legal business of the Crown occupied more than three pages of the 4 Gazette ’ this evening. The regulations are made by Order in Council under the- authority of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, and the Justices of the Peace Act, 1927, and they arc to apply to all Government departments, and must be observed from July 1 onward. The regulations are the first substantial revision of similar regulations since the end of last century. In certain respects the law, both civil and criminal, has changed since then, and the result has been that cases have been met with in the conduct of the Crown’s legal business, for which no express and authoritative regulation is provided. This position has not been altogether satisfactory, and in the new regulations everything has been provided for in black and white. The regulations are mainly of interest to Crown solicitors and solicitors who conduct business for the Crown. The changes and now expressions arc Largely matters of detail. Alterations have been made in various ways to suit the existing conditions.
