In pursuance of the powers vested in me by Order 127 of the Rules of the Superior Courts (No.2 of 1993) I hereby make the following direction and regulation concerning applications of persons to be appointed a notary public:

1. In an application to be appointed a notary public the petitioner shall not be required to establish that the existing number of notaries available for the transaction of notarial matters in the county, city or district for which appointment is sought is inadequate to meet the needs of business and commerce and no averment as to such matter shall be necessary in the petition or supporting documents.

2. This direction shall take effect on and from January 26th 2006

John L. Murray
Chief Justice
