"The lawyers say the new digital system has had a crippling effect on their practice of land-conveyancing, resulting in loss of income and frayed relationships with clients.
The lawyers say a further hindrance to transactions is that the results of a search are only issued once verification of titles has been completed, and upon the proprietor granting his or her consent to the said search. "
"We are reasonably apprehensive that continued usage of the system without a manual alternative will continue to cause massive inconvenience and loss of business to our members, clients and the general public," argues Mr Theuri.
