Decisions to control how a regulated person or firm practises
We can control the work of some of those we regulate by imposing "conditions".
Conditions are not findings of misconduct but are a protective measure we take to control the work of a person or a firm. We impose conditions when we think it is in the public interest to do so.
We can impose conditions in relation to:
- Solicitors – conditions are imposed on their practising certificate
- Registered European Lawyers – conditions are imposed on their registration with us
- Registered foreign lawyers – conditions are imposed on their registration with us
- Recognised Bodies – conditions are imposed on their recognition by us
Examples of conditions
Examples of the conditions we may impose are that a regulated person
- may act only in employment approved by us;
- must lodge half-yearly accountant's reports with us;
- must attend a training course, such course to be approved by us;
- must not carry out a certain type of work.
Is the condition in force?
Some conditions are published by us.
