This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
14(1)The Council may take any of the steps mentioned in paragraph 15 (“the steps”) with respect to a licensed conveyancer where it appears to it that the professional services provided by him in connection with any matter in which he or his firm has been instructed by a client have, in any respect, not been of the quality which it is reasonable to expect of him as a licensed conveyancer.
(2)The Council shall not take any of the steps unless it is satisfied that in all the circumstances of the case it is appropriate to do so.
(3)In determining in any case whether it is appropriate to take any of the steps, the Council may—
(a)have regard to the existence of any remedy which it is reasonable to expect to be available to the client in civil proceedings; and
(b)where proceedings seeking any such remedy have not been begun by him, have regard to whether it is reasonable to expect him to begin them.
(4)The Council’s powers under this paragraph are exercisable in relation to a person who was, at the material time, a licensed conveyancer even though he is no longer a licensed conveyancer and references to a licensed conveyancer in this paragraph and paragraphs 15 to 20, so far as they relate to the exercise of those powers, shall be construed accordingly.
