THE SUSPENSION OF LEGAL REMEDIES.
THE SUSPENSION OF LEGAL REMEDIES. There has been so much said and written about the morato- rium that people may possibly lose sight of another Act of Par- liament which seriously affects the rights of creditors. We refer to the Courts (Emergency Pow- ers) Act, 1914, which received the Royal Assent on August 8'1,1914. Although it is only an enabling measure, in that it merely con- fers certain new powers on the judges who have to administer the law, it might, if enforced in one way, practically deprive all plaintiffs of the fruits of litiga- tion for a considerable period. Everyone will admit that a judgment is of little avail unless it can be enforced it may be en- forced, in the ordinary way, by execution—that is to say, a man's property may be sold, and the proceeds of sale may be applied to the payment of judg- ment debt and costs. Again, the landlord generally has the power distrain or to recover possession of premises for default in the payment of rent. Finally, in the case of a policy of insurance, the company generally has a formid- able remedy for the non-payment of a premium due it may forfeit the policy. The new Act provides, by Sec- tion 1 (a), that no person shall proceed to execution on, or other- j wise to the enforcement of, any judgment or order of any Court for the payment or recovery of a sum of money except after an application to the Court. The sum of money here referred to means any sum of money due under a contract made before August 4, and rent (whether payable pursuant to a lease made before or since August 4), unless amounts to 501. a year or more. The following are examples of "sums of money," payment of which cannot be enforced without application to the Court:— (I.) Salary due under a contract made prior to August 4. (2.) Payments due under the certificate of an engineer on the carrying out of works under a contract. Before considering the powers of the Court, let us refer to the second half of Section 1, which further limits the rights of a judgment creditor. He may not (1.) (b) levy any distress, take, re- sume, or enter into possession of any property, exercise any right of re-entry, foreclose, realize any security (except by way of sale by a mortgage in possession), forfeit any deposit, or enforce the lapse of any policy of insurance to which this sub-section applies,or, in default of the payment. or recovery of any such sum of money, except after an applicat- ion. The policy of insurauce here mentioned only includes a policy for life or an endowement for an amount not exceeding 251. The man who has a policy for lOOl. may forfeit it by non-pay- ment of premium. We now pass on to consider the powers of the Court on the making of an application. Sect- ion 1 (2) provides that if on an application the Court thinks that time should be given, on the ground that the dependant is unable immediately to make the payment by reason of circum- stances attributable, directly or indirectly, by the present war,the Court may, in its absolute dis- cretion, after considering all the circumstances of the case and the position of all the parties, by order, stay execution or defer the operation of any such remedies as aforesaid for such time and subject to such conditions as the Court thinks fit. It will be interesting to see how the Court will exercise the very wide powers thus conferred upon it. The fact that there are two sides to everything will doubtless be borne in mind. A stay of execution may be a serious hardship to a judgment creditor. For instance, suppose a tenant in possession of a shop or mill under a lease dated before August 4 is unable to pay his rent. Is the landlord to be per- manently kept out of possession because, owing to the war, the tenant cannot make the business pay, although another tenant could do so ? We feel sure that before exercising the wide powers conferred upon them our judges will require strict proo", of the fact that the dosondant is unable to pay owing to circumstances arising out of the war, and that, failing a complete recognition of the plaintiff's rights, the defend- ant will be asked to do all he can to make reparation.
