SQE1 FLK2 03 Solicitors Accounts — Casebook

Description

Rules are easier to understand, and far easier to remember, when you have seen the cases they come from. This 127-page casebook puts the leading and most recent authorities on solicitors’ accounts in front of you, each presented as a self-contained, bordered brief: the case name and full citation, the court and judge, and then the facts, procedure, issue, holding, reasoning and application set out in clear, labelled form.

It covers the authorities behind the modern test for dishonesty and the concept of integrity, the prohibition on using the client account as a banking facility, the rules on bills and the right to assessment, the VAT treatment of disbursements, and the equitable principles of tracing and proprietary remedies that apply when client money is misapplied — together with the governing statutes and the SRA Accounts Rules 2019. A reference annex, added for completeness, gathers the circumstances in which client money may be withheld from a client account and the standard double-entry accounting entries, set out beside the authorities they accompany; a table of cases completes the volume.

Written by Bernard Adjenughure and published by TKJ Global Media Ltd, the Casebook is the source layer of a four-title library — pair it with the Treatise for full doctrinal analysis, or with the Study Guide and Workbook for exam preparation. Supplied as a PDF and EPUB eBook for instant download.
