personal injuries and the Council was asked to decide whether any conflict of interest arises which would prevent member from accepting instructions from the passenger. The Council on a report from a committee stated that a conflict of interest does arise and that member, having acted for the driver and owner ofthe car, cannot now accept instructions from the passenger to proceed against his former client.

CONVEYANCING PRACTICE EXCHANGE OF CONTRACTS

The Council advised members in the Society's Ga2ette (May 1960) that contracts for sale ofproperty should be engrossed in duplicate and that a copy executed by the vendor should be exchanged for a copy executed by the purchaser, the latter being accompanied by a cheque for the deposit in favour of the vendor's solicitor, where appropriate according to the terms of the contract. A case has been brought to the notice of the Council in which it appears that a serious loss may have been incurred as the result of the failure of the vendor's solicitor to have the contract signed by his client. The contract in that case was accompanied by a cheque for a substantial deposit which was paid in the normal course by the drawer's bank. The Council again bring this matter to the attention of members as one of urgency and advise that an invariable practice should be adopted of obtaining a signed contract in exchange for the deposit just as a duly executed conveyance or transfer is required on completion in exchange for the balance of the purchase money.
