Re: Return Of Completed
Building Cont rac t/
Agreements for Sale
The Conveyancing Committee has
received a complaint from a member
that a firm of builders operating in the
Dublin area have apparently instructed
its solicitors not to return the parts of
the building contract and agreement for
sale executed by the builder/vendor to
the purchasers solicitors until the
closing.
Such a practice is clearly unacceptable.
A solicitor acting for a builder/vendor
who receives such instructions from his
client should firstly advise his client
that this practice is deemed
unacceptable by the Conveyancing
Committee and if the client persists in
instructing the solicitor not to return
completed contracts until the closing
then the builder/vendor's solicitors is
under an obligation to advise the
purchasers solicitors when sending out
the building agreement and contract for
sale, that these documents will not be
returned completed by the
j builder/vendor until the closing date.
A solicitor for a purchaser is in
considerable difficulty in preparing a
certificate of title for a lending
institution if that solicitor is not in
possession of parts of the contract
completed by the builder/vendor.

This year's Irish Lawyers Fishing Club
Pilgrimage to the West took place from
the 18 to the 21 of May. Ten hardy,
perhaps foolhardy, souls ventured forth
again to do battle in search of the
elusive brown trout of Loch Conn. The
group met at Hineys Pub in
Crossmolina. Most of the resulting
hangovers had dissipated by lunchtime
the following day and by Friday
evening
Stephen Beverley
and
Robert
Ramsey
(both UK) had landed seven
fish, keeping two while
Patrick
Molloy
(Dublin) kept the Irish flag flying with
two fine fish of about a pound and a
half each. Despite massive amounts of
freely rising trout, the rest of the group
had little luck with only
James St. John
Dundon
(Dublin) landing and returning
a small fish. A splendid meal at Susan
Kellett's, Enniscoe House rounded off
the day. Saturday saw an altogether
more determined group take to the
water. At the end of the day,
Michael
O'Byrne
(Kells) had landed a cracking
fish of two and a half pounds while
James St. John Dundon
and
Simon
McAleese
(Dublin) had kept three fish.
Garnet Orange
had a good trout of
about a pound and
Messrs.
Beverley
and Ramsey
had a superb day landing
ten fish, keeping six and missing
literally scores of others. Gallantly
fighting a rear guard action were
John
Purcell
(Cork - a former champion on
this trip),
Jim Orange
(Dublin) and
Peter Matthison
(UK). Another
beautiful meal at Enniscoe followed.
Guest of the Club was
Barry
Segrave
who did such a fine job looking after
all the anglers. Wine flowed freely.
Prizes were presented with
Messrs.
Molloy and Beverley
taking best of
Irish and UK respectively and
Robert
Ramsey
following in third place.
Speeches were delivered with great
aplomb with much thanks and praise
for both food and fishing. Noted
Galway bon viveur and raconteur
Paddy Daly
put in a surprise late
appearance and joined with gusto in
the magnificent repast.
Messrs.
Dundon and McAleese
were elected to
form next years Committee. Roll on
May 1996!
