CONVEYANCING ACT 1881 - SECT 66



66.(1) It is hereby declared that the powers given by this Act to any person,
and the covenants, provisions, stipulations, and words which under this Act
are to be deemed included or implied in any instrument, or are by this Act
made applicable to any contract for sale or other transaction, are and shall
be deemed in law proper powers, covenants, provisions, stipulations, and
words, to be given by or to be contained in any such instrument, or to be
adopted in connexion with, or applied to, any such contract or transaction;
and a solicitor shall not be deemed guilty of neglect or breach of duty, or
become in any way liable, by reason of his omitting, in good faith, in any
such instrument, or in connexion with any such contract or transaction, to
negative the giving, inclusion, implication, or application of any of those
powers, covenants, provisions, stipulations, or words, or to insert or apply
any others in place thereof, in any case where the provisions of this Act
would allow of his doing so.

(2) But nothing in this Act shall be taken to imply that the insertion in any
such instrument, or the adoption in connexion with, or the application to, any
contract or transaction, of any further or other powers, covenants,
provisions, stipulations, or words is improper.

(3) Where the solicitor is acting for trustees, executors, or other persons in
a fiduciary position those persons shall also be protected in like manner.

(4) Where such persons are acting without a solicitor, they shall also be
protected in like manner.
