Challenge

Igh Court

Sydney legal circles in early October were hopeful that New Guinea’s challenge to the con stitutional structure of that Territory would come before the High Court in Sydney in November.

If the matter is not heard at the November sitting it is un likely that the High Court will hear it before early next year.

The matter in October was in the hands of the Common wealth and the next move was up to the Government. The Commonwealth Attorney-Gen eral, Sir Garfield Barwick, will lead in the case when it comes before the Court. Sir Garfield, it is known, has had his time taken up in the last few months with other important legal and political matters.
