- Content Summary:
- The New South Wales Land and Valuation Court was created in 1921. It was responsible for hearing objections to valuation and appeals from boards which had power to assess values, determining compensation for resumption of land, and dealing with appeals against rateability of land. Else-Mitchell was appointed an Additional Judge of the Land and Valuation Court in January 1962 and Deputy Judge in August 1968. He was appointed Judge of the Court on 31 July 1972. He retired from the Court in 1974.
- Immediate source of acquisition:
- Justice Else-Mitchell first placed papers in the National Library in 1981. He had earlier donated a considerable quantity of papers to the Mitchell Library in Sydney but decided that the later papers documenting his involvement in a range of national organisations should be in the National Library. Further papers were received in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1989, 1991 and 1995. The 1989 and 1991 instalments were donated under the Taxation Incentives for the Arts Scheme.
