Lodging of Caveats
Probate, Administration and Trusts
30/04/2001
Practitioners will be aware that where a caveat is lodged, there is no procedure or rule obliging the practitioner to advise his/her opposite number of such lodgment. Notwithstanding the absence of such a rule, the committee recommends that, subject to the consent of the client, the solicitor lodging the caveat should, as a matter of good practice and professional courtesy, inform his/her colleague of that fact.
