The Gazette 1955-58

Client's privilege. A member received a witness summons to attend Court to give evidence on a criminal charge against his former client of communications made to him by the client. It appeared that the communications from the client to member were in furtherance of an intention or attempt to commit a fraud which was the subject of criminal proceedings. Member enquired whether the communications were privil eged. On the facts given the Council stated that in their opinion no privilege existed, but that member should raise the question of privilege and must abide by the ruling of the Court thereon. THE BORDER ON representations received from the Donegal Solicitors' Association it has been suggested that the Council of this Society should approach the Incorporated Law Society of Northern Ireland with a view to making practice regulations under the Solicitors' Act, 1954, and the corresponding statute in Northern Ireland. The object of the regulations would be to make it illegal for a solicitor in Northern Ireland to engage in conveyancing transactions relating to land in the Republic unless he holds a practising certificate from this Society, with corresponding provisions preventing a solicitor in the Republic from acting in relation to land in Northern Ireland unless he holds a practising certificate from the Incorporated Law Society of Northern Ireland. The Council would suggest that whole-time salaried solicitors should be excluded from the scope of such regulations if made. As the regulations would be far reaching in their effects the Council do not wish to proceed in the matter without giving all members interested an opportunity of expressing their views. Members who wish to submit any observations or objections to the pro posals on particular or general grounds are asked to write fully to the Secretary without delay.
