Part I Right to Practise as Solicitor
Unqualified persons acting as solicitors
24 Application of penal provisions to body corporate.
C11
If any act is done by a body corporate, or by any director, officer or servant of a body corporate, and is of such a nature or is done in such a manner as to be calculated to imply that the body corporate is qualified or recognised by law as qualified to act as a solicitor—
a
the body corporate shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to F1a fine not exceeding the fourth level on the standard scale, and
b
in the case of an act done by a director, officer or servant of the body corporate, he also shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to F2a fine not exceeding the fourth level on the standard scale.
C2C32
For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that in F3section 20 the reference to an unqualified person and the reference to a person both include a reference to a body corporate.
