LAND REGISTRY COSTS OF TRANS-

FERS OTHERWISE THAN ON SALE

The Council have requested the Rule-making

Committee for the Land Registry to consider the

existing position under

the Schedule of costs

annexed to the Land Registry Rules, 1937, which

limits the costs chargeable for drawing up settle–

ments and similar documents to the fixed charges

specified in the Schedule where the value of the

lands does not exceed £1,000. The maximum costs

chargeable in such cases are £7, and in the opinion

of the Council the scale is inadequate.

It has been

suggested by the Council that the solicitor should

have

the option of charging

the remuneration,

prescribed by clause 2 (c) of the Solicitors Remunera–

tion Order, 1884, irrespective of the value of the

lands.

It is understood that the matter will be

considered by the Rules Committee.

CALENDAR & LAW DIRECTORY

1947

Owing to difficulties in the printing trade it is

probable that publication of the Calendar this year

may be delayed. Last year it was on sale on

February 6th, but the circumstances referred to may

delay publication for some weeks.

In the meantime,

members who wish to obtain copies are asked to

complete and return order forms with remittance, 5 /-

(post free 5/6) immediately, to avoid disappointment.

Decisions of Interest to the Profession

Notice to Quit—Monthly and Weekly

Tenancies

IN Skelly

v.

Thompson (45 I.L.T.R. 138) it was

decided by the High Court in Ireland, on appeal

from the County Court Judge, that in order to

determine a weekly tenancy of a non-agricultural

holding the notice to quit was sufficient if it was

reasonable notice, and that such notice if sufficient

in other respects might be given to expire on any

day of the week and not necessarily on the gale day.

The facts in that case were that the tenancy com–

menced on a Saturday, which was admitted to be

the gale day, and the notice to quit was served on

Thursday, January

i2th,

to expire on Friday,

January 20th. The decision in Skelly

v.

Thompson

was followed in Simmons

v.

Crossley (1922, 2 K.B.

95) in which it was held that in the case of a monthly

tenancy a notice to quit which expired on a day

other than the last day of a month calculated from

the commencement of the tenancy was good. The

earlier decisions referred to above were disapproved
