To Whom it may concern,

After a number of Meetings, the members and committee of the Ocian Law Society, have decided in order to cover rising costs in the Society, due to a number of factors, that the above costs be amended as follows:

Section 3, which read:

3. Lawyers are to include in their fees a 5% Charge which must be paid directly to the Ocian Law Society.

Is hereby amended to read:

3. Lawyers are to include in their fees a 10% Charge which must be paid directly to the Ocian Law Society.

This change will take immediate effect and will be amended in the above post also.

The other Sections and Costs are not affected in any way.


For & on Behalf of the OLS:
