LAND REGISTRY COSTS OF TRANS-
FERS OTHERWISE THAN ON SALE
The Council have requested the Rule-making
Committee for the Land Registry to consider the
existing position under
the Schedule of costs
annexed to the Land Registry Rules, 1937, which
limits the costs chargeable for drawing up settle–
ments and similar documents to the fixed charges
specified in the Schedule where the value of the
lands does not exceed £1,000. The maximum costs
chargeable in such cases are £7, and in the opinion
of the Council the scale is inadequate.
It has been
suggested by the Council that the solicitor should
have
the option of charging
the remuneration,
prescribed by clause 2 (c) of the Solicitors Remunera–
tion Order, 1884, irrespective of the value of the
lands.
It is understood that the matter will be
considered by the Rules Committee.
CALENDAR & LAW DIRECTORY
1947
Owing to difficulties in the printing trade it is
probable that publication of the Calendar this year
may be delayed. Last year it was on sale on
February 6th, but the circumstances referred to may
delay publication for some weeks.
In the meantime,
members who wish to obtain copies are asked to
complete and return order forms with remittance, 5 /-
(post free 5/6) immediately, to avoid disappointment.
Decisions of Interest to the Profession
Notice to Quit—Monthly and Weekly
Tenancies
IN Skelly
v.
Thompson (45 I.L.T.R. 138) it was
decided by the High Court in Ireland, on appeal
from the County Court Judge, that in order to
determine a weekly tenancy of a non-agricultural
holding the notice to quit was sufficient if it was
reasonable notice, and that such notice if sufficient
in other respects might be given to expire on any
day of the week and not necessarily on the gale day.
The facts in that case were that the tenancy com–
menced on a Saturday, which was admitted to be
the gale day, and the notice to quit was served on
Thursday, January
i2th,
to expire on Friday,
January 20th. The decision in Skelly
v.
Thompson
was followed in Simmons
v.
Crossley (1922, 2 K.B.
95) in which it was held that in the case of a monthly
tenancy a notice to quit which expired on a day
other than the last day of a month calculated from
the commencement of the tenancy was good. The
earlier decisions referred to above were disapproved
