I move amendment No. 50:

In page 45, between lines 7 and 8, to insert the following:"(i) the act or omission, in the case of a legal practitioner who is a legal executive, is likely to bring the legal executives’ profession into disrepute,".

This group of amendments relates to the legal executives who work in the provision of legal services. They have lobbied me and, I am sure, other Deputies and they have met the Minister. They are an integral part of the provision of legal services. They are significant in number and are organised, with their own representative umbrella group. As the Minister appreciates, they seek a degree of formal recognition through the legislation.

This series of amendments seeks to effect recognition for legal services executives.
