SIR DAVID SAID THAT, FINALLY, THE EXISTING PROVISION FOR THE PROCEDURE WHEREBY APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION FROM JURY SERVICE WAS MADE TO THE COURT WAS NOT SATISFACTORY AS IT DID NOT PRESCRIBE THE MEANS OF DOING SO.
THE BILL CREATED A NEW SUB-SECTION THAT SET OUT THE PROCEDURE TO BE ADOPTED ON APPLICATION TO THE COURT FOR EXEMPTION FROM JURY SERVICE.
DEBATE ON THE BILL WAS ADJOURNED.

THE CONVEYANCING AND PROPERTY (AMENDMENT) BILL 1987 WILL CURE SEVERAL MINOR DEFECTS IN THE PRINCIPAL ORDINANCE, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, THE HON JEREMY MATHEWS, SAID IN THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TODAY (WEDNESDAY).
SPEAKING IN THE RESUMED DEBATE ON THE BILL, MR MATHEWS SAID THE SUBJECT WAS EXTREMBLY TECHNICAL.
"THE BILL WILL CURE SEVERAL MINOR DEFECTS IN THE PRINCIPAL ORDINANCE BUT OTHER CHANGES TO OUR LAND LAW MAY STILL BE NEEDED."

C. CHANGES, NAMELY TO THE STATUTORY LIMITATION RECOVER LAND AND TO THE PROVISION IN THE LAND DEALING WITH FLOATING CHANGES.
