The dismissal of an action for negligence against a licensed conveyancer for failing to disclose to the client the existence of a right of way, did not prevent his professional body disciplining him out of the same facts and awarding compensation. The test of negligence is not the same as the test of whether he had provided an inadequate professional service.
