LAND REGISTRATION (SOLICITORS
COSTS) RULES, 1962
The Registration of Title Rules Committee, with
the concurrence of the Minister for Justice, have
made the Land Registration (Solicitors Costs) Rules,
1962. The Rules come into operation on the ist
September, 1962.
The main change brought in by the Rules is the
substitution of a higher scale of costs for voluntary
transfers of registered land for the existing scale,
with the difference that there is no longer an option
to charge under Schedule II. The new

applied, where appropriate, to registered land. The
remainder is mainly a re-enactment of the existing
scales.
Copies of the Rules may be obtained from the

In this case he was satisfied that the solicitor's
conduct went beyond mere knowledge and extended
