Open Letter to Roy Jenkins
SIR,—Mr. Jo Grimond appears to have forgotten his Bar student days; a house is not a 'chattel' and therefore the method of transfer always will be much more complicated than a motor-car until the Law Commission finally rewrites legal theory.
However, if Mr. Grimond is making a passing tilt at solicitors' costs, it might be advisable to re- mind his readers that if a client of a solicitor sub- sequently discovers a flaw in the title to his house then of course that solicitor is liable and will pay damages for negligence. If a motor dealer sells a hot motor-car one is often hard-pressed to sue and enforce judgment.
There lies his answer.
