Attorney General Solicitors: conveyancing in contravention of section 20 of the Solicitors Act 1957: undertaking given in terms of injunction sought. Ch D— Pennycuick VC , 18th November 1971. The settlement was announced in an action between H M Attorney General at the relation of The Law Society and Sydney George Carter of Kenton Lane, Kenton, Middlesex. Sir Joseph Molony, QC , mention- ing the settlement to Pennycuick VC , said that The Law Society's claim was founded on s 20 of the Solici- tors Act 1957. Mr. Carter was and had been the secre- tary of an unincorporated body, the National House Owners' Society, which existed for providing con- veyancing services at a cheap rate. Mr. Carter had been convicted twice for contravening s 20 but The Law Society claimed that in spite of that he con- tinued conveyancing unlawfully. The writ in the present action was issued on 15 October 1968. The relief sought was an injunction to restrain Mr. Carter from continuing the breach of the law. Mr. Carter had offered an undertaiing in the terms of the relief claimed in the writ and the minutes of order had been pre-

v. Carter pared in the following terms: that Mr. Carter would not contravene or attempt to contravene s 20 by (a) drawing or preparing any instrument of transfer or charge for the purposes of the Land Registration Act 1925 or any other instrument (as defined in the section) relating to real or personal estate for or in expectation of any fee, gain or reward otherwise than by the agency of a person who was for the time being a qualified or excepted person for the purposes of the section; (b) causing or procuring the drawing or pre- paration of any such instrument as aforesaid otherwise than as aforesaid; and (c) holding out himself or other persons (except persons who were qualified or exempted persons for the purposes of the section) as being willing or entitled to draw or prepare any such instruments as aforesaid. Mr. Anthony Lester, for Mr. Carter, concurred and added that at no time since October 1967 had Mr. Carter been in breach of the provisions of s 20. Mr. Carter had been influenced to give the undertakings by the fact that even a defendant in a relator action was not a candidate under the Legal Aid and Advice Act 1949.
