Establishment of Register of Dáíl Court Decrees.

12.—(1) The Minister shall cause a Register of Dáil Court Decrees to be opened and maintained and shall give public notice by advertisement or otherwise of the establishment of such Register, and shall in such public notice prescribe a date, not being sooner than two months or later than four months after the passing of this Act, before which any person may give notice to the Registrar of any decree made by a Dáil Court in a matter or proceeding to which he or any deceased person whose personal representative he is was a party or by which he or such deceased person is bound.

(2) The Registrar shall enter in the Register particulars of every decree of a Dáil Court of which he receives—

(a) notice before the date named in the advertisements aforesaid; and

(b) such evidence as in his opinion is reasonably sufficient to establish the fact of such decree having been made, the court by which and the date on which the same was made and the terms thereof; and

(c) such particulars as are in the possession of or can reasonably be obtained by the person giving such notice of the names and addresses of all persons affected or bound by such decrees, and the names and addresses of the solicitors (if any) who acted for such persons respectively in the matter in which such decree was made.

(3) Within the prescribed time after entering a decree in the Register the Registrar shall give, in the prescribed manner, notice of the registration of such decree to every person appearing to be affected or bound thereby and to the solicitors (if any) appearing to have acted for such persons respectively in the matter in which such decree was made.

(4) Any person aggrieved by the registration, or by a refusal of the Registrar to register, a decree of a Dáil Court may appeal in the prescribed manner to the Commissioners, who shall make such order in the matter as appears to them to be just.

(5) No decree made by a Dáil Court after the date on which the authority of such court was withdrawn shall be entered on the Register.

(6) Any advertisements published by the Minister before the passing of this Act inviting persons to furnish particulars of decrees of Dáil Courts shall be deemed to have been published under this section, and all such particulars as may have been or shall be received by the Minister pursuant to such advertisements shall be communicated by him to the Registrar and shall be deemed to be a notice under this section to the Registrar of the decree to which they relate and shall be dealt with by the Registrar accordingly.
