Civil Bill Court.
|
23. The judge of the Civil Bill Court (herein-after called the chairman) shall in all cases brought before him under the provisions of this Act have power to take evidence upon oath, and to compel the attendance of witnesses, and shall have all and the same powers, jurisdiction, and authority as in cases of Civil Bill ejectment coming within his jurisdiction as such judge: Provided always, that the judge shall himself without a jury decide any question of fact arising in any case brought before him under this Act.
|
|
| |
The chairman may, with the consent of both parties, hear and determine any case brought before him under this Act in chamber, if he so thinks fit, and when so sitting in chamber he shall have all and the same powers, jurisdiction, and authority in respect to cases so heard as if sitting in open court.
|
|
| |
The chairman may, within the prescribed time after making any order, review or rescind or vary any order previously made by him, but, save as aforesaid, and as provided by this Act with respect to appeal, every order of the Civil Bill Court shall be final.[1]
|
|
| |
Any order made by the chairman under this Act may be enforced by attachment or otherwise in the same manner as if it were the order of any of the superior courts of common law at Dublin, and if such order made by the chairman be for the payment of money, it may also be enforced in the same manner as civil bill decrees for money demands made by such chairman.
