LAW SOCIETY LIBRARY SERVICES CHARGES FOR DOCUMENT SUPPLY

The following charges apply to the Library Photocopying Service: Self-service photocopying in the Library: 10p per sheet Requests received by telephone/telex/fax/post for copies of Law Reports, judgments, legislation, articles, precedent forms, etc., will be subject to a £5 . 00 handling charge, and a photocopying rate of 1 5p per sheet plus £1 . 00 packing and postage or, in the case of a fax transmission,* a fax rate of £1 . 00 per page received and sent. Requests for copies of caselaw, legislation, articles on a particular subject which necessitate the library staff carrying out subject searches in Digests/Indexes will incur an additional £5.00 search fee. Where members do their own research in the library the only charge will be the self-service photocopying charge of 10p per sheet. */t should be noted that fax transmissions is particularly suited to short items of preferably not more than 5 pages.

Fading of Laser and FAX Print Conventional Deed paper should not be used in laser printers. The print on Deed paper may fade after a period of time if a laser printer has been used. This is because conventional Deed paper does not have the smooth surface of photocopying quality paper. Ac co r d i ng ly since most laser printers operate in a manner similar to that of a photocopier, fading will occur if conventional Deed paper is used (suppliers state that a smooth surface is required to ensure even electrophotographic toner appli- cation). If the surface is uneven the toner character will only affix itself to a portion of the surface area and will be liable to fall off. FAX messages may suffer fromm the same problem of fading as they are printed out on light-sensitive paper. Practitioners should photo- copy all important FAX messages. If FAX messages are left in bright light, sunlight or in contact w i th plastic covers, the fading process will be accelerated considerably. Technology Committee Registry of Deeds The Registry of Deeds have changed their system in relation to fees. Their fees are now calculated as follows: — 1) Nega t i ve Searches:For each different name for any period not exceeding ten years ....£4.00 For each different name for every additional period of ten years or part thereof ...£4.00 2) C o mm o n Sea r ches: For each different name for any period not exceeding ten years ....£2.00 For each different name for every additional period of ten years or part thereof ...£2.00
