In an effort to provide speedy hearings for short cases - a duration of one day or less - involving an assessment of damages only, the following provisions shall apply:

1. Such cases will, on the application of the plaintiff, be listed for trial on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the last week of each sitting
2. Applications may be made in respect of any such case which has been set down for trial regardless of whether or not it has appeared in the published list
3. Applications for such listing must be made to the presiding judge at the call-over in Dublin which precedes the hearings in each country venue
4. This direction shall take effect in respect of all trials at country venues from Easter term 1998 onwards. Applications for the listing of such cases at the Easter sessions should therefore be made at the call-over lists to be taken during the current law term.
