The point is why run the risk of a repeated mistake, especially when it is someone other than the employer attorney making the mistake. My approach worked. Compensate the employee well for a job well done, but let him know that he loses it all in the event of his negligence. As I indicated earlier, I never had to discharge an attorney abstractor for negligence in title work.The only one discharged was for an unrelated matter. We avoided even a single claim against us.

With respect to your comparison of a lay abstractor's lost business to an attorney's disbarrment, I thought we had already discussed that issue, and agreed to disagree.
