The following was among the business transacted :
Accountant's Office High Court
The Council considered a report from a committee
on the subject of the practice adopted by the office
in the issue of drafts pursuant to a payment schedule.
The practice is to issue the drafts to the solicitor
who lodges the schedule whether or not he acts for
the payees. This may result in the issue of a draft
made payable to the defendant to the solicitor for
the plaintiff where money had been lodged in
court. It was decided to ask the Society's represen
tatives on the Superior Courts Rules committee
to raise the matter at that committee.
