SMALL DEBTORS ACT.
Per Press Association,
Wellington, May 3,
Mr Millar, speaking at Walhi, said he would introduce into Parliament next session a Bill to do away with imprisonment for small debts when a man was honestly trying to meet his liabilities. The Bill would provide that a man who had fallen behind in his payments could call his-creditors together before the Official Assignee and agree to pay off so much a week, the weekly payments to be divided among the creditors pro rata. While they were maintained the protection order issued by the Assignee would prevent the debtor being sued in the Magistrate’s Court for the recovery of small debts. While the honest man was protected the man attempting to evade his liabilities would have no protection whatever.
