dc.description.abstract | "Under the present County Court jurisdiction and procedure,
it is almost impossible to recover debts." These
are the first words of a printed statement adopted by the
joint Committees of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce,
and the Dublin Mercantile Association. They are
sufficiently startling, and, if true, call for very drastic reforms
in County Court Procedure. But when I find that
about 50,000 decrees are obtained in Ireland every year,
5,500 out of the Belfast Recorder's Court alone, and that
the vast majority of these are for shop and other debts, I
think the statement that " it is almost impossible to recover
debts," in the Irish County Courts must be regarded
as very rash. My own experience is that there is not the
slightest difficulty in recovering a just debt in the County
Court if creditors avail themselves of the facilities that
are offered them. The only difficulty that ever arises
is from the delay of creditors in suing for their debts. | en |
