the draft Code of Ethics referred to in the Report. Mr. P.
O'Connor explained that the draft was now before the
Council of the Society. Once cleared by the Council, it
was his intention to bring it before the next meeting of
Presidents & Secretaries of Bar Associations. He did not
anticipate bringing the Code before the members of the
Society in draft form.
Mr. Crivon felt the members should be consulted on
such an important document and considered that a
summary of the proposals contained in the Code should
be circulated before it was adopted.
The Society's move on the arbitration of disputes was
commended by Mr. O'Mahony.
Mr. Crivon raised the delay with a query of his in
relation to the inspection of wages books by the Depart-
ment of Labour. The Director General (Mr. J. Ivers)
explained that the issues raised by Mr. Crivon had been
discussed at a meeting of the Law Clerks JLC on 13th
November 1984. As a result, it had been decided to deal by

previous service. The Committee considered that the
question of inspection of wages books was a matter for the
Department of Labour and the issue was being referred to
that Department.
Mr. V. Crowley raised the question of responsibility for
foreign lawyers' fees which, in his experience, were at a
very high level. Would it be possible to have an
arbitration arrangement to deal with problems in this
area? Mr. Crivon asked if it would be possible to furnish
the profession with comparative Irish/UK costs for the
various situations which arose. The President suggested
that the most practical approach was to agree fees on the
commencement of the particular case. However, he felt
the matter should be looked at by the Professional
Purposes Committee.
