Legal Services Board: ‘Minimalist’ regulation?

The Legal Services Board (LSB) has set out its proposed regulatory performance framework, due to take effect on 1 January 2023. 

Frontline regulators will be assessed on whether they are well-led, take an effective approach, and whether their operational activity is effective and focused on the public interest.

Law Society president Lubna Shuja said: ‘We are concerned that the new performance framework reflects an emphasis on self-reporting and that the LSB appears to be taking a minimalist approach to regulatory performance monitoring.’

For more on the proposed framework, see here.
