Greetings. I've been trying to figure out how to get an opinion for one
of our attorneys. The citation she provided me looks like this:
Pontardawe Rural District v. Moore Gwyn [1929] I Ch. 656
Her notes indicate that the case involves weathered rocks on a steep
bluff.
I looked in Bieber's, and there was no citation exactly like this one.
There was a similar abbreviation, I. Ch. R., which stands for Irish
Chancery Reports. However, the University of Washington has this set,
and its catalog indicates that the Irish Chancery Reports covers the
mid-1800s, so a 1929 case wouldn't be in this set. Also, I searched for
"Pontardawe" on the Web and found that it is a part of Swansea, Wales.
So it seems unlikely the case would be in an Irish reporter set.
Nancy McMurrer at UW also tried to help me figure this out, and we
learned that a date in brackets is an essential part of the citation of
UK materials and that the "Ch." most likely stands for Chancery. Beyond
that, however, we are stuck. Does anyone know exactly what the citation
refers to and where I could get a copy of the opinion? Thanks.
