Legal Services Regulation Bill 2011: Committee Stage
10:30 am

I apologise for the confusion. The purpose of amendment No. 24 is to insert "or any other person" after "practitioner" on page 26, line 8 such that it states:
The High Court, on application to it by a legal practitioner or any other person who is affected by a code of practice, made within 28 days of the issuing by the Authority of that code, may, where it considers that the code of conduct is oppressive, unreasonable or unnecessary, revoke or vary the code.
Do people other than legal practitioners who feel, in the words of the Bill, that it is "oppressive, unreasonable or unnecessary" have the right of access? I apologise for running it with the public advertisement issue in the two earlier amendments. Perhaps there is another route in the Bill whereby a person who feels his or her treatment has been "oppressive, unreasonable or unnecessary" may seek to revoke or vary the code.
