Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The European Communities (Lawyer’s Practice) Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/1119), which were made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68), give effect to European Communities Council Directive No. 98/5/EC of 16 February 1998. The purpose of the Directive is to facilitate the practice of the profession of lawyer on a permanent basis in a Member State of the European Community other than the State in which the qualification was obtained.
These amending Regulations are in consequence of the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 (c. 12). They allow paragraph 21(1)(b) of Schedule 2 to the Administration of Justice Act 1985 (c. 61) (Revocation of recognition by reason of default by director) to apply to members of limited liability partnerships who are registered European lawyers.
