I thank the witnesses for their presentations. They mention in the survey the two primary reasons for delays seen by IPAV members. The role of solicitors is a primary cause of delay and it would seem that it is in this area that you make a recommendation for change. The second area concerns policy procedures by lending institutions. In my personal experience that side caused delays more than solicitors. The establishment of an e-conveyancing system and the use of e-mails, as distinct from what is being done now, seems like a reasonable suggestion. I wonder do the witnesses have any reasons for resistance by solicitors to using modern methods of communication?
