NEW REGULATIONS
CROWN'S LEGAL BUSINESS.
COMPLETE OVERHAUL. WELLINGTON, Friday. New regulations relative to the conduct of the legal business of the Crown occupied more than three pages of the Gazette last evening. The regulations were made by Order-in-Council under the authority of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, and the Justices of the Peace Act, 1927, and they aire to apply to ail governmental departments. They must be observed from Ist July onward. The regulations are the first substantial revision of similar regulations since the end of last century. In certain respects the law, both civil and criminal, has changed since then, and the result has been that cases have been met with, in the conduct of the Crown's legal business for which no express and authoritative regulation provided. This position has not been altogether satisfactory, and in the new regulations everything has been provided for in black and white. The regulations are mainly of interest to Crown solicitors and solicitors who conduct business for the Crown. The changes and new expressions are largely matters of detail. Alterations have been made in various ways to suit existing conditions.
