IN ORDER TO ALLOW THIS FORM OF SUBSTITUTED SERVICE TO OCCUR IN THE SMALL NUMBER OF CASES WHERE BOND MONEY HAS BECOME FROZEN, THE BILL WILL MODIFY THE APPLICATION OF SECTION 50 OF THE SMALL CLAIMS ACT FOR THE PURPOSES OF DEALING WITH RENTAL BOND MATTERS.

AS WITH OTHER SMALL CLAIMS CASES, THE CHANGE WOULD NOT PRECLUDE THE UNCONTACTED PARTY APPLYING TO THE COURT TO SET ASIDE A JUDGEMENT ON GROUNDS THAT HE OR SHE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE PROCEEDINGS.

IN ADDITION TO THESE SUBSTANTIVE AMENDMENTS, THE BILL WILL DER THE LANGUAGE OF THE ACT GENDER NEUTRAL

IN CONCLUSION, I BELIEVE THAT THE AMENDMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS BILL WILL RESULT IN A MORE EFFICIENT AND EQUITABLE RENTAL BOND CUSTODIAL SCHEME.
