Solicitor
acting
for
both Vendor
and
Purchaser. Contemplated Proceedings
Member, acting for the vendor in a sale, accepted
instructions from the purchaser to act on his behalf
also. The sale was not completed and the purchaser
is in default with the balance of the purchase money.
Member has now been instructed by the vendor to
institute proceedings against the purchaser.
He
states that he did not obtain any information from
the purchaser which could be used to the advantage
of the vendor in the contemplated proceedings. In
reply to an inquiry by member as to whether he is
entitled to institute proceedings on behalf of the
vendor, the Council, on a report from a committee,
stated as their opinion that as member accepted
a retainer from each party he should now act for
neither in the contemplated proceedings between
them.
Costs of release in favour of Administrator
from Next-of-Kin
Member acts for the next-of-kin of a deceased
intestate, the administrator being represented by
another solicitor. A release from the next-of-kin
in favour of the executor is required on payment of
their shares. On an enquiry by member as to whether
he would be entitled to an approval fee for approving
the draft deed of release submitted for execution
by his client the Council, on the report of a com
mittee replied that in their opinion the executor's
•costs of drawing the release are payable out of the
residue and the costs of the beneficiary's solicitor are
payable by the beneficiary.
