LEGAL
Q.: I have been paying off the purchase money of a house and have remitted the vendor 16 monthly instalments, but have received no receipts. Ought I to receive receipts and can I demand them? — '"C.J.R." (Karori). • A.: Yes. At common law a creditor could not be compelled to give a receipt; if he refused the only protection was to pay him before witnesses. Now under the Stamp Act it is an offence to fail to give a receipt if demanded. Q.: Is a baker entitled to run a delivery van on a statutory halfholiday if he drives it himself? — "1.X.L." (Temuka). A.: Yes. Bakers are exempted from certain provisions as to statutory holidays under the Shops and Offices Act, 1921-22, Section 21 (a).
