Abstract: The nullity distributions of the two curvature tensors , $overastR$ and $overastP$ of the Chern connection of a Finsler manifold are investigated. The completeness of the nullity foliation associated with the nullity distribution $N_{R^{a}st}$ is proved. Two counterexamples are given: the first shows that $N_{R^{a}st}$ does not coincide with the kernel distribution of , $overastR$; the second illustrates that $N_{P^{a}st}$ is not completely integrable. We give a simple class of a non-Berwaldian Landsberg spaces with singularities.
