The cornerstone of this debate is about the auctioneer and the customer. As far as I am concerned, the customer is the vendor and he or she engages the auctioneer to carry out the action, namely, the sale of the property, on his or her behalf. However, that point appears to have been missed by some Members on the other side of the House. There is a duty of care on the part of the purchaser in terms of the actions of the auctioneer, but the real duty of care must lie with the vendor because he or she engages the auctioneer and, in effect, pays the bill. There is a legal obligation on the auctioneer to maximise the price for his or her customer. That point should be noted. It is everybody's right to ensure that they obtain the maximum price for that which they wish to sell.
