Client's privilege.
A member received a witness summons to attend
Court to give evidence on a criminal charge against
his former client of communications made to him
by the client.
It appeared that the communications
from the client to member were in furtherance of an
intention or attempt to commit a fraud which was
the subject of criminal proceedings.
Member
enquired whether the communications were privil
eged. On the facts given the Council stated that
in their opinion no privilege existed, but that
member should raise the question of privilege and
must abide by the ruling of the Court thereon.
THE BORDER
ON
representations
received from
the Donegal
Solicitors' Association it has been suggested that
the Council of this Society should approach the
Incorporated Law Society of Northern
Ireland
with a view to making practice regulations under
the Solicitors' Act, 1954, and the corresponding
statute in Northern Ireland.
The object of the
regulations would be to make it illegal for a solicitor
in Northern Ireland to engage in conveyancing
transactions relating to land in the Republic unless
he holds a practising certificate from this Society,
with corresponding provisions preventing a solicitor
in the Republic from acting in relation to land in
Northern
Ireland unless he holds
a practising
certificate from the Incorporated Law Society of
Northern Ireland.
The Council would suggest
that whole-time salaried solicitors should be excluded
from the scope of such regulations if made. As the
regulations would be far reaching in their effects the
Council do not wish to proceed in the matter without
giving all members interested an opportunity of
expressing their views.
Members who wish to
submit any observations or objections to the pro
posals on particular or general grounds are asked
to write fully to the Secretary without delay.
