THE INSTITUTE OF TAXATION IN IRELAND There has been formed in Dublin a study group affiliated to the London Institute of Taxation. It is hoped after a period of time to form the group into a properly constituted Branch. In the year it is hoped that there will be periodic meetings; discussions and lectures at which information, experience and tax problems can be exchanged. The Institute were responsible for holding a one day seminar in Trinity College, Dublin on 6th April, 1968. STIPULATION AS TO COSTS Now that the standard form of building contract is available from the Society (10/- per dozen, plus postage) we consider it an opportune time to bring to the attention of members the opinion of the Council in relation to costs. In the 1964 edition of the Members' Handbook at page 2328 opinion D.R. 24 states :— "The Council disapprove of a stipulation in a contract for sale making the purchaser liable for the vendor's costs whether the sale is effected by way of conveyance or lease by public auction or private treaty in as much as it tends to suggest to the purchaser to retain the vendor's solicitor". The Council expressed another opinion in exten sion of the foregoing in the October/November 1964 issue of the Society's Gazette (Vol. 58) No. 5, p. 45. They considered that a clause in the building contract which read :— "The employer shall be liable for all legal costs and expenses incurred by the builder in connec tion with this contract and matters incidental thereto including the cost of grant applications in addition to the contract price herein stated", was analogous to that already referred to. Accord ingly opinion D.R. 24 was extended to include 103
