ARBITRATION COURT
CUMBERSOME AWARDS REVISION DESIRED [ r cr Press Association j AUCKLAND, Sept. 18. , A statement that many of the existing industrial awards were extremely cumbersome and in great need of recasting was made in the Arbitration Court this morning. An Auckland lawyer, Mr Lisle Anderton, said that in many instances awards were being cluttered up by annual additions to what was frequently an ill-conceived structure in its original form. Many of the clauses were obsolete, but were still retained. Some extraordinary clauses inserted were childish in their objects and were sources of irritation. He realised the difficulty in recasting, but suggested that the drafting of the form should be a matter for an expert draftsman attached to the Court. Judge Page agreed, remarking that soon he would try to draft a standard form of award.
