Abstract
This decision may have important consequences for practising attorneys as far as their trust accounts are concerned. Not only did the Supreme Court of Appeal correct the court a quo’s misconceptions regarding the nature of an attorney’s liability as drawer on a cheque drawn by him on his trust account, but it also held that the conduct and the propriety of issuing a post-dated cheque on a trust account, should be investigated.
