REQUISITIONING OF DOCUMENTS
Land Registry—requisitioning of documents:
The practice for many years in the Land Registry
in dealing with a requisition for a copy of an
instrument has been to issue all the papers, includ
ing the application for registration, correspon
dence, etc., as being part of that instrument un
less
the solicitor desires
to apply for specified
extracts only.
Some members have been puzzled at receiving
copies of correspondence and apparently extran
eous documents when they have requisitioned a
copy of a deed.
If the solititor applies for a specified deed he
will receive that document without the additional
papers at the appropriate fee.
ADMISSION CEREMONY
On Thursday, 9th June 1966, the President pre
sented Certificates of Admission at a ceremony in
the Society's Library. Addressing the newly ad
mitted solicitors and their friends the President
said :
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a most happy
occasion for all of us. For those of you who are
to receive certificates it represents the culmination
of many years of really hard work and study,
and for parents the happy conclusion of years of
anxious planning and often of sacrifice. To the
successful ones I offer my heartiest congratul
ations, at the same time sparing a sympathetic
thought for those less fortunate who have not
yet made the grade.
Each one of you is now embarking on a career
in a most exacting profession. The highest stand
ards of professional conduct are expected of you
and I know you will do your utmost to live up
to them. This will not always be easy but you
will find that to do so will make the practice
of your profession a much happier and more
pleasant experience.
Some of you will be joining a family business,
others may contemplate taking up assistantships
to gain experience. In whichever direction your
activities may lie I do want to impress upon you,
in those difficulties you will encounter do not
hesitate to seek guidance and advice from the
more senior members of the profession. Nothing
teaches like experience and I feel sure that I
speak for all senior members when I tell you
that we will be only too glad to give what help
we can, remembering when we, like you, were in
need of just such help. In addition, Mr. Plunkett
is always available for consultation if called upon.
In conclusion, let me leave this advice with
you :
(1) Join the Society which exists to look after
your professional interests and to help you.
(2) Join your local Bar Association, which you
will find invaluable in ironing our many
difficulties and problems.
(3) Join the Solicitors Benevolent Association,
which devotes its efforts to helping those
less fortunate members and their families
who have fallen upon evil days.
