FOCUS OF THE DAY: Master of the rolls Lord Dyson has dismissed an appeal by barristers against the decision to proceed with the Quality Assurance Scheme for Advocates (QASA). Dyson said the accreditation scheme does not undermine the independence of the advocate or the judiciary and interferes neither with fundamental rights nor constitutional principles. The bar’s judicial review had concentrated on whether regulators had properly understood and fulfilled their statutory duties in designing the scheme, and questioned whether it was lawful and proportionate.

8th October - Law News

1017th Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based Law, Justice, Legislation & Rights related daily news & legal articles archive brought to you by TheLawMap

FOCUS OF THE DAY: The Court of Appeal comprehensively dismissed four criminal law barristers’ challenge to the Legal Services Board’s (LSB) approval of the Quality Assurance Scheme for Advocates (QASA). With the Master of the Rolls, Lord Dyson, giving the lead judgment, the court found that the scheme is lawful, does not interfere with the independence of the advocate or the judiciary, and that the Legal Services Board’s decision to approve it was neither disproportionate nor unreasonable.
