Accountants' Certificates
The Council considered a report of
a.
meeting
between representatives of the Society and of the
Institute of Chartered Accountants. It was recom
mended that instead of requesting the Minister
for Justice to bring section 31 of the Solicitors'
(Amendment) Act 1960 into operation the Society
should itself make regulations dealing with ac
countants' certificates under section 66 of
the
Solicitors' Act 1964.
The Council decided to circulate a draft of the
regulations and of the proposed accountant's cer
tificate with the agenda for the ordinary general
meeting, to be held on 19th May, and that no
vote will be taken at the meeting, the matter
being open for discussion to ascertain the opinion
of the members present.

Leasehold Interest on Registered Land: No. L
Folio
A lease was registered as a burden on a freehold
folio. The freehold folio bore no equity note and
there was no separate L folio for the leasehold
interest. The lease was also
registered
in
the
Registry of Deeds. The original lessee sold his
interest, the title furnished being a copy of the
freehold folio and a copy of the lease. The pur
chaser made a search in the Registry of Deeds
from the date of the lease down to date of com
pletion and enquired as to the appropriate scale
of the purchaser's costs. On a report from a com
mittee, and after considering the definition of regis
tered property in clause 2 of the Land Registration
Rules 1959 and clause 6 of the Land Registration
(Solicitors) Costs Rules 1962, the Council stated
that the costs are chargable on the commission
98
scale under the Solicitors' Remuneration General
Orders 1884 to 1960.
