The six-month consultation, launched last week, involves engagement with legal groups, an online survey, focus groups and ‘deep dive’ online webinars.
Law Society chief executive officer Ian Jeffery said: ‘We want to hear from conveyancers who have used the forms and also those who haven’t and understand why they haven’t.’
The row erupted when the Law Society revised the TA6 as a ‘pragmatic response’ to the National Trading Standards Estate and Letting Agency Team’s guidance on material information (MI).
The Property Lawyers Action Group say the guidance Is not legally binding and argue MI could lead to flawed information, placing solicitors at risk of complex litigation or of committing a criminal offence.
A vote of no confidence in the Law Society’s ability to represent conveyancing members is scheduled for 23 July.
