The following was among the business transacted : Accountant's Office High Court The Council considered a report from a committee on the subject of the practice adopted by the office in the issue of drafts pursuant to a payment schedule. The practice is to issue the drafts to the solicitor who lodges the schedule whether or not he acts for the payees. This may result in the issue of a draft made payable to the defendant to the solicitor for the plaintiff where money had been lodged in court. It was decided to ask the Society's represen tatives on the Superior Courts Rules committee to raise the matter at that committee.
