CLAIM DISMISSED
COURT OF APPEAL CASE. SOLICITOR’S CHARGE RULED OUT. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, October 10. The Court of Appeal has delivered judgment in the case of Boddie v. Armstrong and Springhall, Ltd., heard before the Court on September 21. The Court upheld the decision of the Magistrate, Mr F. Stillwell, and dismissed the appeal. The Court held that Rule 43 of the Court of Appeal rules debarred a solicitor from making any profit charge against a client appealing as a pauper, either for work done in the Court of Appeal or in the Supreme Court. Consequently Boddie’s solicitors could not claim lien upon the amount of judgment obtained against Sievwright, and the respondents were entitled to their attachment order.
Costs amounting to £7 7/- were allowed against the appellant.
