Mazur Breakthrough: LSB Approves Litigation Rights Application
The Legal Services Board (LSB) has approved a fast-track application from CILEx Regulation (CRL) to allow legal executives to obtain standalone litigation practice rights.
This decision, which takes effect immediately, aims to alleviate the 'huge distress and uncertainty' caused by the September judgment in Mazur.
- CRL submitted the application last month following the Mazur ruling.
- The LSB responded within 28 days as pledged.
- CILEX members with Fellowship status can now apply to acquire the rights.
CRL will communicate directly with CILEX members about the application process.
The change will alleviate 'huge distress and uncertainty' caused by September's seismic judgment.
