I move amendment No. 15:—
In page 11, before Section 23, but in Part III, between lines 37 and 38, to insert the following new section :—
The jurisdiction, in relation to any land, exercisable by the Circuit Court under this Part of this Act shall be exercised by the judge of the Circuit Court for the time being assigned to the circuit where the land or any part of the land is situate.
This amendment proposes to specify the particular judge of the Circuit Court who is to exercise the jurisdiction conferred on that court under Part III. The Circuit Court is given jurisdiction in regard to the vesting of land and the registration of ownership of land in Sections 20 and 22. This jurisdiction is a type of title jurisdiction. For that reason, it has been decided to make the provision in regard to it similar to the existing provision for ordinary title jurisdiction and rectification of the register. This latter provision will be found in Section 52 of the Courts of Justice Act, 1924.
