JAMES MR. JOSEPH F. ST. STANDARD FORM OF PERSONAL UNDERTAKING. IN view of complaints which have been received by the Council about difficulty in having personal undertakings fulfilled, it has been decided to publish for members' use the standard form of personal undertaking printed below. It will also be printed yearly in the Society's Calendar and Law Directory. It is suggested that members of the Society should adopt this form both when giving undertakings or accepting them from others. Although consideration for an undertaking may support a civil action on it, consideration is not in the view of the Council necessary to bind a solicitor professionally to his obligations in the undertaking. A solicitor is always bound by a personal undertaking whether given in the undermentioned or any other form. A solicitor to whom an undertaking is offered may ask that it should be in this form which has been approved by the Council.
