CONVEYANCING HAND-BOOK
The Conveyancing Committee are
pleased to produce this Handbook
being a compilation of Recom-
mendations, Practice Notes and
Articles on Conveyancing issued by
it over the years. In preparing the
Handbook, recommendations
which are no longer relevant to
current Conveyancing Practice, or
which were subsequently reviewed
by the Committee have been
omitted. In some cases explanatory
footnotes have been added to draw
Practitioners' attention to develop-
ments since the original publication
of the Practice Notés. It is hoped
that the Handbook will prove a
useful guide to Practitioners in
ascertaining what the Committee
consider to be good Conveyancing
Practice in particular areas. The
Committee's views on such
matters have assumed even greater
importance in recent years as a
result of the system of Certification
of Title for Home Loans and the
new form of Undertaking agreed
with the Irish- Banks Standing
Committee whereby the question
of what is "a good marketable
title" will initially be addressed to
the Conveyancing Committee for
its adjudication.
It should be noted that the re-
commendations from the Convey-
ancing Committee represent
merely the combined wisdom of
the Members of the Committee and
reflect their thinking at the time of
issue. They do not purport to be an
authoritative interpretation of the
Law the ultimate arbiters of which
are the Courts. In many instances
recommendations of the Com-
mittee are designed to ease
Conveyancing Practice and take
account of the practicalities of
Conveyancing transactions. If there
is an inconsistency between any
two Practice Notes or Recom-
mendations the more recent should
be taken to reflect the opinion of
the Committee.
The Handbook contains the Re-
commendations and Practice Notes
of the Committee up to August
1990. The Practice Notes published
since August are set out below and
practitioners are urged to insert
copies in the Handbook to keep it
fully up-to-date.
