EMPIRE CONFERENCE
QUESTION OMPPEAL COURTS * AGREEMENT ARRIVED AT. (Received Last Night, 11.20 o'clock. LONDON, June 13. In the discussion at the Imperial Conference on the question of an Imperial Appeal Court, Mr Batchelor insisted upon the awkwardness of having separate final Courts of Appeal in the United Kingdom and in the Dominions and on the inconvenience of getting a reply in the shape of a single majority judgment from the Privy Council, instead of the separate opinions of all the judges. .Lord Loreburn emphasised the Government's' willingness to give the Dominions whatever sort of final court they wanted; but he said the old forms must be maintained. The conference agreed that the procedure arid membership of the two courts should be assimilated as far as possible, preserving the old names. None of the Dominions, it was stated, were able to spare Judges to serve as overseas members of the Privy Council.
