Sittings for trial by jury in Dublin.
|
33. Subject to rules of Court sittings for the trial by jury of causes and questions or issues of fact shall be held in Dublin, and such sittings shall, so far as is reasonably practicable, and subject to vacations, be held continuously throughout the year by as many Judges as the business to be disposed of may render necessary. Any Judge of the High Court of Justice sitting for the trial of causes and issues in Dublin, at any place heretofore accustomed, or to be hereafter determined by rules of Court, shall be deemed to constitute a Court of the High Court of Jusuce. Subject to rules of Court, the plaintiff shall, in the document by which each cause shall be commenced, name the county or place in which he proposes that the cause shall be tried or proceeding shall take place, but the Court or a Judge may, in their or his discretion, direct the same to be tried in any other county or place; and, so far as shall be reasonably consistent with the convenient and speedy discharge of the business every issue and question of fact to be submitted to a jury shall be tried in the county or place where the cause of action shall have arisen. Any order of a Judge as to the place of trial of any such issue or question may be discharged or varied by a Divisional Court.

Whenever application shall be made for leave to serve any document by which a cause may be commenced upon a defendant resident out of the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, whether by serving such defendant personally or by substituting service upon another person for him, the Court or Judge to whom, such application shall be made shall have regard to the amount or value of the claim or property affected, and to the comparative cost and convenience of proceedings in Ireland, or in the place of the defendant's residence; and no such leave shall be granted without an affidavit stating the particulars necessary for enabling the Court or Judge to exercise a due discretion in the manner aforesaid.
