CO129-516-1 Maintenance Orders (Facilities for Enforcement) Amendment Ordinance- 1929 4-3-1929 - 27-9-1929 — Page 17

17 END

adapt the original Ordinance to this new class of case.

The main results of this omission are as follows:-

(a)

Certified copies of orders which have to be

forwarded must, in general, be forwarded through

the Secretary of State, however near to Hong Kong the other British possession may be: see

for example section 3 of Ordinance No.9 of 1921.

(b) There is no power to make in absentia a

provisional maintenance order against a person resident anywhere except in England or Ireland:

see section 5 (1) of Ordinance No.9 of 1921.

(c) There is no provision for the admissibility of

depositions taken, or documents signed, anywhere

except in England or Ireland: see sections 9

and 10 of Ordinance No.9 of 1921.

The object of the present bill is to remedy these defects.

(Sd.) J. H. Kemp,

18th February, 1929.

Attorney General.
