So from what I can tell The Law Society is ACTING as SURETY for MAN and the GOVERNMENT is SURETY for the NAME/PERSON. Neither of these PARTIES want to be left holding the "hot potato". That's where a MAN comes in to relieve both PARTIES of their burden but the MAN is usually none the wiser. The other two parties are able to ENRICH themselves at the expense of the UNWITTING MAN.
