The Legal Services Board (LSB) should focus on its core activities and only take on more work where there is ‘regulatory need or gaps in responding to consumer needs’, Law Society president Nick Emmerson has said
He was responding to the LSB’s 2024/25 business plan consultation, which closed this week.
In its consultation, the LSB said it anticipated a ‘significant call on resources’ to manage the dispute between CILEX and CILEx Regulation, and for its review into the regulation of collapsed firm Axiom Ince. It proposed a 13.9% increase on last year’s budget.
Emmerson called for any increase in the LSB’s remit and resources to be kept under review.
