Conveyancing Counsel

Conveyancing counsel. The Lord Chancellor may nominate any number of conveyancing counsel in actual practice, not less than six who have practised as such for ten years at least, to be the conveyancing counsel upon whose opinion the court or any judge thereof may act; see (English) Court of Chancery Act, 1852 (15 & 16Vict. c. 80), s. 40; Dan. Ch. Pr. No special provision is made for these counsel by the (English) Jud. Acts, 1873 and 1875; except in so far as they can retain their offices as officers of a court whose jurisdiction is transferred to the Supreme Court [(English) Jud. Act, 1873, ss. 77 et seq.]. See now (English) Judicature Act, 1925, s. 217. See R.S.C. 1883, Ord. LI., rr. 7 to 13.
