We have been asked by Chair of the Real Estate Committee, Mr. Donald Anthony, to forward the following to our membership:

Dear Colleagues,

I have the pleasure of serving as Chair of the Real Estate Committee of the Law Society for the upcoming term. My intention is to have a very active year, dealing as quickly as practicable with outstanding and emerging issues and with an eye to staring to establish clear practice standards across the profession. With this goal in mind, we are holding a meeting open to all members of the practicing Real Estate bar to conduct a roundtable wherein all practitioners can contribute to the creation and prioritization of a list of issues. Some matters doubtlessly require swift attention while others will require a more measured (and lengthy) approach. I hope that this will be the first step in what will become a thorough review and standardization of the practice of Real Estate law in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The meeting will be held at 12:00 pm on Wednesday 30 September 2015, 3rd Floor, Law Society Building, 196-198 Water Street. To allow us to prepare meeting space adequate to our number, please RSVP on or before Tuesday 29 September 2015 via email to Mr. Anthony at: danthony@busseyhorwood.ca.
