of conveyancing work which would not cause serious
danger to defective titles with consequent liability of
solicitors for professional negligence. Apart form
the
investigation of title the solicitor carries responsibility
for a great deal of extra work
such as arranging
bridging
finance, undertakings
to banks and
lending
institutions on which he is personally liable, safeguard
ing the client's rights under the building contract against
defective materials or workmanship, pre-contract searches
for planning restrictions or permissions and complic
ations introduced by the stamp duty legislation 1947-65
and the Land Act 1965. For all this work and respon
sibility the fees charged are moderate. The solicitors'
profession is not a safe or sheltered occupation. While
overhead expenses continually
increase
the solicitor's
gross earnings from which such expenses are paid
is
subject to fluctuations caused by restriction of credit and
other causes. Taken over, a period it is the opinion of
the Council
that the
incomes of solicitors have not
risen comparably with those of civil servants and of
other professions and with the change of the value of
money since 1939 and they can see no justification for
the suggestion in your letter either that conveyancing
costs are too high or that solicitors' earnings are ex
cessive at a time when incomes in all other occupations
and solicitor's working expenses are continuously rising."
