	No files are held for 1927-1928, as these were destroyed under the authorisation of Supreme Court Justice Callan in 1949. The registers and Civil Minute Books should be consulted for these years. After 1990 internal indexes were not included in the registers, and were replaced by separate indexes (series 15347).

	Files A81/1929-A114/1960 have been listed individually.  For access to files A115/1960- onwards the registers in series 5042 will need to be used, or for the later files, the indexes in series 15347.

	These are the case files of actions, later called civil proceedings in the Auckland High Court.  Up to 1985 they were called action files, and the case file numbers were prefixed A.   From 1986 they were called civil proceedings, and the case files were prefixed CP.  These are the papers recording  cases in which a person or corporate body is suing another person or corporate body in the Court for financial or other reasons.  They consist of documents registered with the Court pertaining to a particular case.

	In 2003 a new filing system was introduced, with all civil side files registered in a single sequence.  The new series has not yet been documented.

	The files 1927-28 for this series were destroyed on the authorisation of Supreme Court Justice Callan in 1949.

	His minute of 1949 [Archives Reference J.2/25/4] reads:

	Approval is given to destroy the under-mentioned records of the Supreme Court at Auckland which have been filed for more than twenty years.

	(a) Documents filed pursuant to the Chattels Transfer Act 1908 or the Chattels Transfer Act 1889.

	(b) Records in civil actions and in appeals thereon, not being divorce records.

	C) Records in criminal proceedings.

	(d) Judges Note-books over 10 years, but not for the first thirty years.

	Dated at Auckland this 1st day of 1949

	(JB) Callan Judge. 

	See: 'Court Records: A Heritage at Risk', John Skinnon, in Archifacts, April, 1996.

	However the Registers for this period survive to give some record of the material that has been lost (see Series 5042).
