Otago Wins Law Moot

Otago Wins Law Moot

Otago University won the law moot trophy after a lapse of nine years. Miss M. O'Flynn, of Victoria University, was selected the best speaker.

The moot was held in the Supreme Court on April 13. Mr. J. C. White acted as the Judge. The following represented the four Universities: Otago, W. D. S. Armitage and P. M. Gait: Auckland, H. Fulton and G. Hubble: Victoria, V. E. Goodman and Miss M. O'Plynn; Canterbury, A. D. Orchard and M. D. Brown.

The four teams took part in two moots. In the first one Otago and Auckland were represented. In the second, Victoria and Canterbury took part.

The judge in his final address reserved the judgment, but commented on the general nature of the case. He said that the arguments presented were not lucid. Further he observed that no attempt was made to go down to the real issue as such. But he commended on the manner the answers were supplied whenever he had to question.

After summing up the case he declared Otago team the best all-round, and presented the trophy which was accepted by Armitage and Gait of Otago University.
