New Family Court Experiment Sought
The Manitoba government seeks federal approval for a pilot to merge all family law cases into a single court. Current divisions place divorce in Queen's Bench, guardianship in County Courts, and maintenance in Family Court. The plan, urged by the Manitoba Law Reform Commission, would require federal and provincial changes and is proposed to run first in St. Boniface Winnipeg.

MDC Fails In Bid To Appeal Court
The Manitoba Development Corp loses another bid to recover 800000 from GNC Industries Ltd. The Manitoba Court of Appeal upholds a Queen's Bench ruling that no penalty is due under a 121967 agreement. The case centers on Columbia Forest Products Ltd. of Sprague and a government subsidized chipboard plant. The court found the 1971 working capital cutoff violated the agreement, freeing GNC from continuing to operate the plant or paying the penalty. The Sprague plant, damaged by a 1972 fire, remains in receivership. The article also notes the Max Planck Institute’s 328-foot radio telescope in Bonn as the world’s largest fully steerable radio telescope.
