I would be inclined to leave that to the management of the legal services regulatory authority. Obviously, these reviews could vary in terms of substance in that some could be relatively straightforward whereas others might be more complicated. It will consist of three members, two of whom shall be lay members. Where the complaint refers to a solicitor, one member of the committee shall be a solicitor, while where the complaint relates to a barrister, one member shall be a barrister. The eligibility is also outlined. In respect of the range of tasks with which this body must deal, I must state my reluctance to consider changes. Perhaps this matter should be examined as part of the two-year review, when one will be able to see how many cases were referred, what was the scale involved, whether there was a question of reviews backing up or something similar and whether a new method or more people were needed on the review committee. I suggest this might be best done after the two-year review.
