Of the eight professions studied, the authority found the most serious anti-competitive practices in the legal profession and in medicine. The regulation of these areas restricts entry and competition through a variety of mechanisms. One example is the legal profession, where all solicitors qualify from a course run by the Law Society and all barristers from one organised by the Kings Inns. Another is the limited number of places in medical schools and some of the restrictions placed in the way of doctors educated elsewhere who seek to work here.
