(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Solicitors’ (Non-Contentious Business) Remuneration Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/1931) (“the 2009 Order”) which deals with the remuneration of solicitors in respect of non-contentious business. The amendments extend the application of the 2009 Order to bodies which are wholly or partly owned or controlled by non-lawyers and are licensed by the Law Society under Part 5 of the Legal Services Act 2007 (c. 29) to provide legal services, or a mixture of legal and other services, to the public (“licensed bodies”).
This Order is made under section 56 of the Solicitors Act 1974 (c. 47), which is applied to licensed bodies with modifications by the Legal Services Act 2007 (Designation as a Licensing Authority) (No. 2) Order 2011 (S.I. 2011/2866) (“the Designation Order”). It amends the 2009 Order so that it extends to licensed bodies but, by virtue of the modifications made by the Designation Order, only in relation to any activity of the licensed body which is an activity regulated by the Law Society in accordance with a licence issued under Part 5 of the Legal Services Act 2007.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
