Abstract:
For many years past our Chambers of Commerce and
Mercantile Associations have been calling for the establishment
in the County Courts of Ireland of a summary power
to obtain decrees by default for liquidated demands. In
support of this claim the analogy of the power to obtain
judgment by default in the High Court, and the provisions
of the English County Courts Acts, enabling such decrees
to be obtained outside Sessions, are relied on. It is urged
that the want of such a power delays and sometimes defeats
just and undisputed debts, and imposes upon creditors,
and particularly upon trade creditors, the hardship and
inconvenience of attending Quarter Sessions and proving
demands to which no defence could or was intended to be
offered.
