Solicitors Act 1954 (Professional Practice,
Conduct and Discipline) Regulations,
1955.
DRAFT regulations circulated with the Agenda were
considered and adopted with amendments and it
was ordered that the regulations should be tabled
to be signed at the next meeting of the Council.
Registry of Deeds delays.
CORRESPONDENCE from the Dublin Solicitors' Bar
Association was considered and it was decided that
representations should be made to the Registrar of
Deeds.
Land Registry Maps.
ON a report from a committee drawing attention
to the fact that the Land Commission requires a
certified copy of a Folio with an application for
sub-division, since the practice of showing the
areas on the map has been discontinued by the
Land Registry, the Council directed that further
representations should be made to the Registrar
of Titles that the old practice should be revived.
Sealing of Documents by Local Authorities.
MEMBERS complained of deky in sealing of releases
by the Dublin County Council and Dublin Corpora–
tion and pointed out that the local authorities
concerned will not seal such documents until the
money payable under the release has been received
by the local authority. It was ordered that a letter
should be written to the City and County Manager
pointing out the inconvenience to members of the
public and suggesting that the ordinary practice
of sealing the documents and holding them under a
certificate of escrow should be adopted.
