if I am right in this belief it may not be out of place
to write to you in connection with the matter.
I feel that in a great number of instances Practitioners
are furnishing queries or questions which in the proper
sense are not Requisitions on Title at all and quite often
these requests or questions relate to information which
the Purchaser himself or his Solicitor can obtain by
simply taking the trouble to procure the data asked
for and that it is not part of the Vendor's Solicitor's
duty or work
to supply. As an
instance of this
I
mention the fact that not so long ago upon the sale
of a ves.ted Labourer's Cottage in resoect of which the
Purchase Annuity had been redeemed and there were
no other charges upon
the premises I
received,
as
Solicitor for the Vendor, almost fifty Requisitions on
Title.
Most of my colleagues and I too use the printed
Requisitions which
can be obtained
from different
stationers and this is very convenient and a considerable
time saver but sometimes these forms have to be varied
considerably by additions or deletions and most of them
contained a number of Requisitions that are hardly ever
apolicable to sales in this part of the Country anyhow.
Would it be possible for the Society to arrange for an
article to be nublished in
the Gazette from some of
the Practitioners who could compile it authoritatively
indicating what questions can properly be raised as
Requisitions or perhaps an article from Counsel on the
matter could be produced.
Personally I feel that it is beginning to be accepted
as ordinary practice for the Purchaser's Solicitor to ask
almost any question that comes into his head amongst
questions which can properly be asked as Requisitions
on Title. It wastes a great deal of time answering ques
tions which should never be asked when as often is the
case the person raising the Requisitions does not realise
that a number of the questions should never have been
raised.
Yours sincerely,
ALAN DONNELLY.

Dear Mr. Donnelly,
Thank you for your letter dated June 3rd on
the
question of standardisation of the requisitions of title.
The Society has through a committee drafted standard
requisitions on title and it is hoped that these will be
printed and available for sale to members in the near
future.
We are also
investigating
in
the office here
the
possibility of adopting a standard form of enquiries
before contract. These enquiries have become standard
practice in England and direct the attention of
the
parties to various matters which ought to be investigated
before the contrac is signed and which are not properly
speaking matters of title at all. Nevertheless such matters
are very often equally, or even more important in some
cases than the title.
I note your suggesions for an artkie in the Gazette
and I shall look into this matter.
Your sincerely,
F.RTC A. PLUNKETT.
Secretary.
