The High Court last week awarded damages of €40,500 against O'Donnell Dalton and Hogan Solicitors, of Henry Street, Limerick, in favour of a young couple who sued the firm for gross negligence. Mr Justice Quirke ruled that the conveyancing of a property deal had been less than satisfactory, with the solicitors failing to take adequate instructions, to keep proper records, and to investigate the title deeds. He also remarked that stricter standards should apply in transactions where the same solicitor acts for both buyer and seller, and suggested that the Law Society might see fit to issue guidelines on such instances.
