Solicitors' Golfing Society

Practice Note — Extension of Period of Validity of Sub Division Consents The Land Commission has decided to extend the period for which certain consents are valid. The form of consent most commonly used by the Commission to date provides that the consent is valid for a period of 12 months. The Commission has now decided to extend the initial period of validity to 3 years. The arrangement will not apply to consents in the case of applications in respect of non agricultural properties e.g. for building purposes where the consents are not subject to any time limit.• Value Added Tax In a letter to the Society, dated 27 August, 1982 the Revenue Commissioners have stated that:— 'the normal practice is to give two week's notice of visits for inspections of accounts for VAT purposes. This practice will be extended to solicitors and meets the requirements of the Society's Taxation Committee.• Narrow Victory for Visiting Cricketers No more exciting conclusion could have been prescribed for the first cricket match between teams representing the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland and the Law Society of England and Wales than that which took place. The match was played at Castle Avenue, Clontarf on the 9th August and with only one ball remaining, the visitors needed 6 runs to win. Their leading scorer Price — Rowlands struck a resounding blow which carried the boundary and won the day. The start of the match was delayed as a result of morning rain which restricted the length of the game aside. The Irish side batted first and, thanks largely to David Martin (62) and Eamonn Delahunty (25), totalled 126 for 8 wickets in their allotted open. The visitors at first scored steadily thanks to contributions from Rowes (25) and Sutton — Mathews (24) but their scoring rate later fell below the required rate. The arrival of Price - Rowland who ended with an unbeaten 26 led to a speeding up of the scoring rate and ultimately put the visitors within sight of victory. Gerry Kirwan was the most successful of the home bowlers taking two wickets for 42 in 14 overs. The visiting side also played games against the Leprechauns and Halverstown during their short tour.n

(Continued from p. 195) client proposes; talk the client through the circumstances to see whether the intentions seem well-founded or the implications fully understood. Wherever possible, retain intact all revoked Wills. Above all, keep comprehensive attendance records — despite every care by the profession, the con- sequences of unfortunate decisions taken by our elderly clients will, in the main, be sorted out long after the event.• 199
