ficiary subsequently instructed the Department of
External Affairs to instruct him without retaining a
solicitor. A dispute subsequently arose about the
Department’s statutory commission fee o f 5 per
cent, which the client was unwilling to pay. A
deputation was appointed to seek an interview with
the Secretary o f the Department to discuss the
matter and to report back to the Council.
Undertaking between solicitors.
A Solicitor wrote to the District Court Clerk of
a local Court enclosing the papers in a Road Traffic
prosecution and asking the Clerk to hand them to
a solicitor present in Court who was willing to
undertake the defence. The letter o f instructions
stated “ Please ask the solicitor to return the papers
with a note o f his fees.” The papers were handed
to a member o f the Society who conducted the
defence and subsequently named a fee.
The fee was not paid by the instructing solicitor
and the matter came before the Council for their
opinion as to whether he was personally responsible.
The Council expressed the opinion that the in­
structing solicitor was personally responsible for
the fee named for conducting the defence or
alternatively such fee as should be allowed by the
Taxing Master.
Coras Iompair Eireann. Settlement with
client direct.
T he Secretary was directed to make repres­
entations to C.I.E. in a case in which, where a
solicitor was acting, a local official o f the Company
had personally interviewed the plaintiff and effected
a settlement without his solicitor’s knowledge.
Branch Office.
M ember wrote enclosing a form of communication
to clients notifying them o f the opening o f a branch
office and enquiring whether it would meet with
the Society’s approval. The Secretary was directed
to reply that in the opinion o f the Council it is not
necessary to notify clients o f the opening o f a branch
office and that the proposed communication should
not be sent.
