Regulation 102 Deferment of solicitor’s profit costs

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Where an assisted person’s solicitor has failed to comply with any provision of these Regulations and, as a result of his default or omission, the fund incurs loss–

(a)

the appropriate area committee may defer payment of all or part of the solicitor’s profit costs in connection with the proceedings to which the certificate relates until he has complied with such provisions; and

(b)

if the Board refers the conduct of the solicitor to the Solicitors' Disciplinary Tribunal and the solicitor is disciplined, the Board may retain any sum, payment of which has been deferred under sub-paragraph (a), in accordance with the finding of the Tribunal.
