Completion will be carried out in accordance with which code when completion by post is used and both sides adopt the Conveyancing Protocol?

• A. The SRA Code for Completion by Post
• B. The Law Society Code for Completion by Post
• C. The Conveyancing Protocol for Remote Completion
• D. The Law Society Guidelines for In-Person Completion

Answer: (B)

When completing by post and both sides adopt the Conveyancing Protocol, the procedure is governed by the Law Society Code for Completion by Post. This code provides the specific rules for handling post-completion documents and funds within the framework of the Protocol, ensuring a smooth and secure process when parties communicate and complete remotely.

The regulatory body for solicitors (the SRA) oversees professional conduct generally, but it does not provide this particular completion-by-post procedural code. The other options either refer to non-existent or misnamed codes, or describe in-person or remote completion in a way that doesn’t fit the given scenario.
