An Act to declare that certain Statutes do not apply to civil cases before Resident Magistrates and Justices of the Peace.
Preamble.
Whereas doubts have arisen as to whether an Ordinance of the Governor and Legislative Council of New Zealand Sess. 2 No. 5 intituled “An Ordinance to regulate Summary Proceedings before Justices of the Peace”
and “The Summary Convictions Act 1848”
and “The Summary Proceedings Improvement Act 1860”
are applicable to Civil Proceedings and it is expedient that such doubts should be set at rest:
Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled and by the authority of the same as follows:—
I Short Title.
The Short Title of this Act shall be “The Resident Magistrates’ Ordinance Amendment Act 1861.”
II Recited Ordinance and Acts not to apply to civil cases.
The said recited Ordinance and Acts shall be deemed and held not to apply to any case whatsoever of a civil nature which a Resident Magistrate or Justices of the Peace are empowered to hear and determine by way of summary proceeding under an Ordinance of the Lieut. Governor and Legislative Council of New Zealand Sess. 7 No. 16 intituled “An Ordinance to provide for the establishment of Resident Magistrates’ Courts and to make special provision for the administration of Justice in certain cases.”
