having regard to the Order made by the Acting President of the Court on
November 9th, 1949, to determine the procedure in the Anglo-Norwegian
Fisheries case,
Makes the following Order:
Whereas by letter dated March 7th, 1950, the Agent of the Norwegian
Government has asked that the time-limit for the presentation of the
Norwegian Government's Counter-Memorial, which had been fixed by the Order
of November 9th, 1949, for May 31st, 1950, be extended to July 31st, 1950;
Whereas, by letter of March 20th, 1950, the Agent of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland declared that he did not object to this

only subject to the condition that, if judgment was not given before the
opening of the third fishing season, the Decree of 1935 should not be
applied beyond the Red or Yellow Lines;
Whereas the condition attached by the Agent of the United Kingdom
Government to his assent to this request could be satisfied only by
resorting to the procedure appropriate thereto; [p 63]
