SUIT AGAINST CROWN
CLAIM FOR DELIVERY OF ' OODS By Telegraph—Press Association NEW PLYMOUTH, May 31. Court proceedings against the Customs Department to compel delivery of certain roods which it is claimed are being illegally withheld by the Department are to be taken by a New Plymouth firm of importers. Instructions to proceed with the demand for the goods were issued by the firm to its solicitors to-day. The goods in question have been detained by the Customs Department because the firm does not hold the necessary licenc' under the import regulations for their importation. The decision to take legal action follows the recent ruling of the Supreme Court at Auckland that the import regulations are invalid and that the Cuctoms Department’s refusal to give delivery without the production of a licence is Illegal.
