FOCUS OF THE DAY: Lawyer welcomes the Legal Services Board (LSB) decision to reject plans to reduce the minimum level of professional indemnity insurance (PII) cover to £500,000. The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) had proposed lowering the minimum cover from £2m for firms, and £3m for incorporated firms and LLPs, to £500,000 to create more flexibility in the market.
