Its existence was indicative of a lacuna, one which academics would not fill. It took a group of law students, balancing their studies and other commitments, to organise such a publication.

This section, which was modelled on French and Italian law, dates as far back as 1859 when it was inserted in Ordinance VIII of that year. Since then, however, the tendency of modern legislation has been to reduce this age limit. Thus in Italy it has been reduced to 24 years; the laws of Portugal require only 21 years. In Scotland, any law agent may be appointed Notary and any person who is 21 years of age and who has satisfied other conditions may be appointed law agent.

He stands in the forefront of Maltese jurisconsults. He was destined to make the holocaust of his life on the altar of science. He built to his own eternal memory a monumental of judgements teaming with legal wisdom. Vast knowledge, faithful industry, profound thought, were embedded in his nature; a philanthropic disposition, a deep love for his family, a dignified personality, form the complete picture Wed, 01 Jan 1947 00:00:00 GMT /library/oar/handle/123456789/69622 1947-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/69621 Title: Mr. Justice R. F. Ganado Abstract: My credentials for writing this short appreciation of the late Mr. Justice R.F. Ganado consist not only in my having practised before him when he was a Magistrate and then one of His Majesty 's Judges, but also in my having had, later on, when I was raised to the Bench, the privilege of sitting with him. In age there was naturally a considerable difference, indeed he started practising the year I was born, but, as my feet are firmly set super vias antiquas, this only served to enable me to appreciate still more, as if from a distance, his sterling qualities.
