FOCUS OF THE DAY: Bar regulator says it is not in the public interest to exempt QCs from quality assurance. The regulator for the barrister profession has requested that Queen's Counsel Appointments (QCA) consider developing a system of re-accrediting criminal silks. The move follows an announcement in January from the Bar Standards Board (BSB) that it planned to explore other ways to protect the public from poor standards of advocacy.

FOCUS OF THE DAY: Proponents of reforms to judicial review claim they will deter ‘frivolous’ cases but the legal profession is worried about the effect on access to justice. A number of reforms to the way judicial reviews can be brought and financed in the UK have caused industry-wide concern over the past two years. Lawyers, ministers and peers have universally denounced the new measures proposed by Lord Chancellor and secretary of state for justice Chris Grayling, claiming they will limit individuals’ access to justice and make it more difficult for people to hold government and public authorities to account.

1179th 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: New survey has found widespread ignorance in the profession of how the practising certificate fee funds regulation. The survey of 967 legal professionals and entities by the oversight regulator the Legal Services Board showed many people are not aware of what their contributions pay for. Among the 365 responses from entities regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, 48% did not know they pay for the LSB and 40% did not realise they fund the Legal Ombudsman complaints service. There was more awareness of frontline regulators, with only 18% saying they were unaware they pay for membership of the Law Society and one in 10 not knowing that they fund the costs of the SRA. Among all regulated legal professionals, at least one-third were ignorant that they covered the costs of the LeO. Full story - The Law Society Gazette
