LASPO "difficult to interpret"
The ban on referral fees for personal injury work, as drafted in the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, is “ambiguous and difficult to interpret”, the Law Society has warned. It says that, while it supports the ban in principle, the way it is drafted in the Act means perfectly legitimate advertising could be caught. It calls on the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to provide more detail.
