MR. SYKES: There is one good reason for giv-
|
|
4
|
ing the Legislature some say here. That is that many
|
|
5
|
questions of practice and procedure involve policy con-
|
|
6
|
siderations that are better made by the representative
|
|
7
|
assembly, for instance, matters of adoption law or ques-
|
|
8
|
tions involving venue in divorce actions and special
|
|
9
|
provisions where they are really more political than
|
|
10
|
technical uven though they involve practices and procedures
|
|
11
|
The Legislature has deferred in those matters, as the
|
|
12
|
Legislature has deferred in one instance where there
|
|
13
|
was a real battle, and that is where you took an appeal
|
|
14
|
from a Workmen's Compensation decision. They did bounce
|
|
15
|
the ball two or three times. There the Legislature
|
|
16
|
stopped and let the court have the last say.

JUDGE PROCTOR: You have to provide for two-
|
|
18
|
tier rules, Court of Appeals rules, and then so far as
|
|
19
|
not inconsistent, for local rules.

MR. ENEY: To the extent permitted by the
|
|
21
|
general rules.
