LEGAL PROFESSION (SOLICITORS) RULES 2006 (REPEALED) - SCHEDULE 3
Solicitor Acting for Both Lessor and Lessee
SCHEDULE 3
THE LAW SOCIETY OF THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY
Solicitor
Acting for Both Lessor and Lessee
Instructions to Solicitor
The Law Society
of the Australian Capital Territory is not in favour of the practice of one
solicitor or firm of solicitors acting for both lessor and lessee in any
transaction for the reason that a solicitor or firm of solicitors cannot, in
the opinion of the Society, properly fulfil their duty to both parties in
circumstances where a conflict between the parties may arise.
The Society
recognises, however, that occasions do arise when a lessor and lessee desire
to employ the same solicitor or firm of solicitors and it does not object
provided the fact that the solicitor proposes to accept instructions to act
for both parties is drawn to the attention of each party.
I have read the
above I, hereby instruct to act for me in the matter specified below
acknowledging that the
*solicitor/*firm of solicitors will also be acting for the *lessor/*lessee in
the same transaction.
