[A Leap in the Dark by A.V. Dicey]@TWC D-Link bookA Leap in the Dark CHAPTER II 85/140
At the present moment the Irish Courts, backed by the whole authority of the Imperial Government and the Irish Executive, often find a difficulty in enforcing their judgments.
Will English Courts find it easy to give effect to a judgment in Ireland if the Irish Executive and its servants stand neutral or hostile? What if the Irish House of Commons turn out as unwilling that force should be used for enforcing the decree of the Privy Council as are some English Radicals that force shall be employed for the protection of free labourers against Trades Unionists? What if the officer of the Court is in fact some bailiff trembling for his own life? He may, I am told, call in the military.
Of his authority to do this I am not quite sure.
He must, I suppose, in the first instance apply to the Irish Home Secretary.
The Irish Minister pressed by the opposition turns a deaf ear to the appeal of the bailiff.
