RESERVED ACTIVITIES

By

Covid-19 could be the catalyst to changes to the reserved activities according to proposals made to the Legal Services Board (LSB) last month. The six reserved activities are written into the Legal Services Act 2007 but are subject to change by the LSB under sections 24 and 26.

'It may be timely to use existing powers to recommend to the Lord Chancellor changes to the list of reserved activities', it said. 27 April 2020
