LNB News: Law Society responds to consultation on Electronic Communications Code

The Law Society has published a response from its Conveyancing and Land Law Committee and the City of London Law Society’s Land Law Committee on the proposed changes to the Electronic Communications Code. 

Lexis®Library update: The organisations welcome the government’s review of the code in light of issues relating to litigation procedures and difficulties raised by site providers that block the progress of installing and keeping electronic communications apparatus on public and private land. However, they fear that the government’s proposals put more weight on ‘treating the symptoms of the problems encountered rather than examining their root causes’.
