Conveyancing rethink

The Law Society is rethinking its conveyancing training after a Competition Appeal Tribunal ruling. The tribunal found that the Law Society should have allowed third party trainers to offer modules for its Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS). Law Society president Robert Bourns said: ‘We note the decision and have and will take steps to avoid similar issues in the future...I am certain that in setting CQS up, the Law Society acted in good faith and in the public interest.’
