This Order cancels the designation of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (“the Association”) as an approved regulator under Part 4 (regulation of approved regulators) of the Legal Services Act 2007 (c. 29) in relation to probate activities. The cancellation of this designation means that, from the date the Order comes into force, the Association is no longer permitted to authorise and regulate persons in relation to probate activities.
