Practice and Law article describes lessons to be learned from the case Earl of Malmesbury V Strutt and Parker (L138156). Examines the case and explores how a surveyor should act when negotiating a transaction on behalf of a client under unusual circumstances. A client appointing a large firm of surveyors for advice should expect the standard of services of such a firm, even if only one surveyor deals with the case. Such a surveyor should draw on the resources of the firm. Management within firms should encourage surveyors to seek help where necessary.
