The following was among the business transacted: —

Conflicting Interests :

THE Council considered a report from a Committee

on the following query: A solicitor, on the occasion

of an intended marriage was informed by T.F., the

intended husband and son of the settlor P.P. that the

latter was prepared to settle certain property on the

occasion of the marriage.

Following these instruc­

tions he called to the residence of P.P., the settlor,

obtaine'd instructions from the latter in person, and

drew up the settlement which was executed by all the

parties at die settlor's residence. After the settlement

had been executed, but before it was stamped, the

settlor personally instructed the solicitor not to stamp

it for the time being for reasons connected with the

amount of the stamp duty. On a

later date the

settlor's wife informed the solicitor that the settlor

had changed his mind, and that no further steps were

to be taken for the moment. On a later date, the

son T.F. informed the solicitor that P.F. was not

proceeding with the settlement, and that he wislic;

to take proceedings against him to compel him to

carry it out. On the instructions of T.F., the solicitor

wrote to P.F. informing him of this.

Proceedings

are now contemplated between the parties, and the

solicitor sought the opinion of the Council as to: —

(a) Whether he should stamp and register the

settlement.

(b) Whether in the event of proceedings he is

entitled to act for either of the parties.
