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