Record Divorce Day Sittings At Auckland
[Special to “Northern Advocate ”] AUCKLAND, This Day.
In five hours in the Supreme Court yesterday, Mr Justice Smith and Mv Justice Fair disposed of 82 petitions for divorce and restitution of conjugal rights. In recent sessions there have been many busy days when undefended divorce cases have been dealt with, but yesterday’s tally established a record for a one-day sitting in Auckland. Mr Justice Herdman holds the record for a single day by one judge, when he disposed of 60 cases.
