6.8.40
Section 5(4), enacted in Section 3 of this Ordinance relieves the Chairman of the Urban Council and any person authorised by him to act under the section of liability for damage done in the course of removal or obliteration of an advertisement in pursuance of the section. The subsection would not be necessary if the acts were properly done, 30 presumably it is intended to relate to negligent or d wilful damage. The undesirability of this sort of enactment is fully discussed in a circular despatch of 21/8/39, in paragraph 5 of which Governors were asked to avoid is inclusion of legislation and where it is really necessary, to explain fully, if possible, before the legislation is enacted. Moreover, enactments of this sort are mentioned in paragraph 7 of enclosure 1 to the circular of 8/12/39,which is a list of the sort of provisions to which attention should be specially drawn in legal reports.
Despite these two recent circular despatches, there is not word about this objectionable subsection in either the despatch or the legal report. This is the third time within the last week that I have found that the circular of 8/12/39 has been disregarded. I am beginning to wonder whether Colonial Governments regard circular despatches as so much waste paper.
