The report stated the Kings Inns monopoly on the provision of a number of legal courses was likely to restrict the number of entrants to the profession of barrister. It also stated the fact that trainees were not paid was likely to act as a barrier to the profession. Rules that prevented barristers from advertising and prohibited clients getting direct access to barristers were likely to restrict competition. It criticised the restrictions whereby barristers employed by companies were not allowed address the courts and, furthermore, were obliged to use a solicitor to get access to a practising barrister who would then represent the company in court. Again, it found that barristers should be allowed to form companies and work in multidisciplinary practices.
