LAND SALES COURT

REMUNERATION OF MEMBERS DETAILS OF PROCEDURE (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Oct. 22. The Land Sales Court Remuneration Regulations, which were gazetted today, fix the remuneration of each of the members (other than the judge) of the Land Sales Court at the rate of £BOO a year, with provisimi for travelling, subsistence, and mileage allowances. The Servicemen’s Settlement and Land Sales Regulations were also gazetted to-day. They call for the establishment of offices of the Land Sales Court at Auckland, Gisborne, Napier, New Plymouth, Wellington, Blenheim, Nelson, Hokitika. Christchurch, Dunedin, and Invercargill. After setting out how documents should be filed and prescribing the forms of claims for compensation and of application for consent, the regulations state that every appeal to the Land Sales Court from any order of a Land Sales Committee is to be brought by a notice of motion in a summary way, to be filed in the office of the court in which the order appealed from was filed. A copy of the notice of motion is to be served by the appellant on every person affected, and written submissions supporting or opposing the appeal may be filed and served by any party in the same manner as for notice of motion on the appeal. No court fees are payable in respect of any proceedings in the court or before any committee.
