15th September - Law News

994th Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based Law, Justice, Legislation & Rights related daily news & articles archive brought to you by TheLawMap

 FOCUS OF THE DAY: The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has refused to back down over its controversial call for a £500,000 professional indemnity minimum limit. Its proposal, first mooted in July, was put on hold last month when the Legal Services Board (LSB) requested more time to review the implications and suggested it might consider approval if the SRA dropped its plans to replace the current £2m minimum cover limit.
