(Signed) GERALD BOLAND,

Aire Dli agus Cirt.

1. These Rules may be referred to as the " Trade Union Act Rules, 1942," and shall be read with the existing Rules of High Court and Supreme Court and be deemed to be incorporated therewith but shall, so far as inconsistent therewith, amend or alter the said Rules accordingly.

2. In these Rules :--

" The Act " means the Trade Union Act, 1941 (No. 22 of 1941).

" The Accountant " means the Accountant of the Courts of Justice.

Words or phrases defined or used in the Act or in the Rules of the Supreme Court (Ireland), 1905, or the Rules of High Court and Supreme Court, 1926, shall have respectively in these Rules the same meaning as therein.

3. The Accountant may accept all or any part of a deposit in authorised securities.

4. (1). Pending or in default of any request by a depositor as to the investment of such part of a deposit made under the Act as is made in money, the Accountant may place such money on deposit receipt in the Bank of Ireland.

(2). A request, signed by the Secretary or Treasurer of the depositor, shall, without any order of the Court, be a sufficient authority for the Accountant either, as the case may be, to invest such part of a deposit made under the Act as is made in money in the authorised securities specified in such request or to vary the authorised securities to which the request relates into the other authorised securities specified in such request. Such request shall be in the Form No. 1 or the Form No. 2 in the Appendix hereto with such modifications thereof as circumstances may require.

5. On the receipt of a request made in the Form hereinafter prescribed, the Accountant shall pay the income from time to time as received from the securities in which such deposit or any part thereof is for the time being invested to the bankers of the depositor for the account of the depositor or in such other manner as may be indicated in the request. A request, signed by the Secretary or Treasurer of the depositor, shall, without any order of the Court, be a sufficient authority for the Accountant to pay such income to such bankers or in such other manner, as the case may be, unless and until the Accountant receives a subsequent request for payment in a different manner. Any request under this Rule shall be in the Form No. 3 in the Appendix hereto with such modifications thereof as circumstances may require, provided that, where payment is required in any manner other than by payment to the bankers of the depositor, such request shall be accompanied by a statutory declaration in the Form No. 4 in the Appendix hereto with such modifications thereof as circumstances may require.

6. A request, signed by the Secretary and the Treasurer of a depositor, shall without any order of the Court, be sufficient authority for the Accountant to pay or transfer to the depositor in accordance with such request all or any part of the deposit or so much thereof as has not already been paid out in pursuance of an Order of the Court under Part II of the Act. Such request shall be in the Form No. 5 in the Appendix hereto with such modifications thereof as circumstances may require, provided that, where payment of money is requested otherwise than to the bankers of the depositor or where a transfer of securities is requested, such request shall be accompanied by a statutory declaration in the Form No. 6 in the Appendix hereto with such modifications thereof as circumstances may require.

7. In any case in which, under these Rules, a request is required to be accompanied by a statutory declaration the Accountant may, if he shall think fit, require such further evidence or verification of the matters stated in such declaration as he may think fit before complying with the request.

8. The Accountant shall, immediately after the return of a deposit or of part thereof, give notice to the Minister of such return and of the amount returned.

9. Whenever any money is paid out of a deposit pursuant to section 16 of the Act, the Accountant shall, as soon as may be, give notice to the trade union concerned of the deficiency (if any) mentioned in the said section and of the amount thereof.
