CHRISTCHURCH, November 23
The rejection- of the intervention of the Solicitor General in the undefended divorce suit of Charles Hectoi Hopkins against Theresa Marie Hopkins, was announced in a reserved jndgmet by Judge Reed this morning. The Solicitor General had intervened on the ground that material facts had not been placed before the court, namely, that petitioner had committed misconduct since the separation, upon which the decree nisi made in May 1983 was Rased. The judge held that the petitioner had withheld the fact in ignorance and also lulled that misconduct alone as insufficient to affect the petitioner’s case. Therefore the decree would not be rescinded. In further observations the Judge declared the law relating to intervention had stood still in the Dominion and it was possible that modifications of the latest English statutory provisions might be usefully adopted. No costs were allowed.
