Finance (1909-10) Act 1910.

THE Council of the English Law Society have

expressed the opinion (and have published

it in the

Gazette

of that Society) that the

additional work, now

for

the first

time

thrown on the Vendor's Solicitor in relation

to the payment of increment duty, is not

included in the scale charge for deducing

title and completing conveyance, and that

the Solicitor is entitled to a reasonable fee

for the additional work actually done ;

and

that

the same rule would

apply

Solicitor acting for a Lessor.

The Council concur in this opinion of the

English Law Society, and recommend that

the profession should act as suggested by it.
