if I am right in this belief it may not be out of place to write to you in connection with the matter. I feel that in a great number of instances Practitioners are furnishing queries or questions which in the proper sense are not Requisitions on Title at all and quite often these requests or questions relate to information which the Purchaser himself or his Solicitor can obtain by simply taking the trouble to procure the data asked for and that it is not part of the Vendor's Solicitor's duty or work to supply. As an instance of this I mention the fact that not so long ago upon the sale of a ves.ted Labourer's Cottage in resoect of which the Purchase Annuity had been redeemed and there were no other charges upon the premises I received, as Solicitor for the Vendor, almost fifty Requisitions on Title. Most of my colleagues and I too use the printed Requisitions which can be obtained from different stationers and this is very convenient and a considerable time saver but sometimes these forms have to be varied considerably by additions or deletions and most of them contained a number of Requisitions that are hardly ever apolicable to sales in this part of the Country anyhow. Would it be possible for the Society to arrange for an article to be nublished in the Gazette from some of the Practitioners who could compile it authoritatively indicating what questions can properly be raised as Requisitions or perhaps an article from Counsel on the matter could be produced. Personally I feel that it is beginning to be accepted as ordinary practice for the Purchaser's Solicitor to ask almost any question that comes into his head amongst questions which can properly be asked as Requisitions on Title. It wastes a great deal of time answering ques tions which should never be asked when as often is the case the person raising the Requisitions does not realise that a number of the questions should never have been raised. Yours sincerely, ALAN DONNELLY. 8th June, 1970. Alan Donnelly Esq., M.A.. Solicitor, Navan, Cb. Meath. Dear Mr. Donnelly, Thank you for your letter dated June 3rd on the question of standardisation of the requisitions of title. The Society has through a committee drafted standard requisitions on title and it is hoped that these will be printed and available for sale to members in the near future. We are also investigating in the office here the possibility of adopting a standard form of enquiries before contract. These enquiries have become standard practice in England and direct the attention of the parties to various matters which ought to be investigated before the contrac is signed and which are not properly speaking matters of title at all. Nevertheless such matters are very often equally, or even more important in some cases than the title. I note your suggesions for an artkie in the Gazette and I shall look into this matter. Your sincerely, F.RTC A. PLUNKETT. Secretary. 44
