Land Registration Fee Order, 1944.
THE Council considered a letter from the Depart
ment of Justice stating that the Minister had
decided to appoint a committee under the chair
manship of Mr. H. B. O'Hanlon, Taxing Master,
to consider and make a report on the above Fee
Order and also the scales of fees at present in
force in the Registry of Deeds and the Courts of
Justice. It was stated in the letter that copies of
the Council's memorandum on the Fee Order
would be supplied by the Department to the
members of the Committee and the Council was
invited to nominate a representative to act
thereon. The Council ordered that a letter in reply
should be written to the Department stating that
the Council nominated Mr. J. B. Hamill to act on
the Committee and that the Minister should be
requested to accept the nomination of Senator
L. E. O'Dea and Mr. J. S. O'Connor, T.D. to act
as additional members of the Committee, the
nomination of such members by the Council to be
without prejudice to its right to examine and
criticise any recommendations of the Committee
on their merits. It was further ordered (1) that the
Minister should be requested to suspend the
operation of the Land Registration Fee Order
pending the Committee's Report; (2) that the
Minister should be informed that members of the
Society had asked that a Special General Meeting
should be summoned to consider the Fee Order
but that the Council had expressed the opinion
