HOT ENTITLED TO FEES
AGENT’S CLAIM FAILS Pres 3 Association. WELLINGTON, Friday. “An agent who is by law required to possess a particular qualification to enable him to act as such is not entitled to any remuneration if at the time he rendered the service* he was not so Qualified/* This authority was quoted by Mr. E. Page, S.M., in giving judgment in favour of defendant in a claim for £5 5s by J. Taylor and Company and H. M. Stowell, native agents, against Amiliana Heta, for work done in preparation and engrossment of power of attorney in favour of defendant. It was never executed, however, as the intended executor would not sign. The magistrate held that, giving as it did power to borrow money upon a mortgage and to execute securities containing power of sale, it constituted a form of conveyancing, and plaintiffs were neither solicitors nor licensed land brokers.
