The European Communities (Lawyer’s Practice) Regulations 2000

Status:

This is the original version (as it was originally made).

9.  Section 35 of, and Schedule 1 to, the Solicitors Act 1974 shall apply to registered European lawyers as they apply to solicitors, and for that purpose—

(a)“controlled trust” shall, in relation to a registered European lawyer, mean a trust of which he is a sole trustee or co-trustee only with one or more of his partners or employees;

(b)references to a solicitor’s practising certificate shall be interpreted as references to a registered European lawyer’s registration;

(c)references to a sole solicitor shall be interpreted as references to a registered European lawyer who is the sole principal in a practice and also to a registered European lawyer who is in practice in partnership only with persons who are not solicitors, registered European lawyers, registered foreign lawyers or recognised bodies, and in such case those powers shall also be exercisable so as to alter or affect the legal rights, obligations or duties of the registered European lawyer’s firm; and

(d)where any of the powers referred to in Part II of Schedule 1 to that Act are exercisable, by virtue of any provision, so as to alter or affect the legal rights, obligations or duties of the firm of a registered European lawyer or former registered European lawyer, those powers shall also be exercisable so as to alter the legal rights, obligations and duties of the members of that firm.
