BAR ASSOCIATIONS
DUBLIN SOLICITORS' BAR ASSOCIATION
A MEETING of the Council was held on Wednesday,
4th December, 1957.
The Council congratulated the President on the
manner in which he opened the debase at the Law
Society's General Meeting relating to the Solicitors
Accounts Regulations.
The Director of Savings, by letter dated 25th
November, 1957, stated that he hoped to have in
operation before long a revised system for payment
of Savings Bank Accounts of deceased depositors.
The Association had represented that a declaration
of identity should be dispensed with when a grant
is produced; that one of two or more executors
should be sufficient to sign the notice of withdrawal
and the warrant for payment; that payment should
be made on foot of the warrant without that docu
ment being in turn presented to the Post Office to
be exchanged for a cheque. It appears that these
points have been accepted, and that payment by
means of crossed warrant will be introduced shortly.
It appears that payment will be made only to an
executor, and not to a nominee. Members are asked
to observe the functioning of the new system, and
to inform the Council whether it is satisfactory or
could be further improved.
As a result of representations the Law Agent to the
Dublin Corporation has agreed to allow half the
scale fee on the compulsory acquisition of weekly
or monthly tenancies where title is not made ; where
title is made the full scale fee will be allowed.
The Council regard this decision as reasonable.
Progress was reported on various other matters,
and the next meeting was fixed for Wednesday,
8th January, 1958.
