SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS
On only two occasions during the year was it necessary to apply to
the Court for Abatement Orders. One of these applications was in respect
of a nuisance arising from accumulation of rubbish and the other concerned
a nuisance arising from housing defects.
In each case the Order was made and costs were allowed.
