  "long_title": "This Order designates the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (“CILEx”) as a licensing authority under Part 5 (alternative business structures) of the Legal Services Act 2007 (c. 29) (“the Act”) in relation to the exercise of a right of audience, the conduct of litigation, reserved instrument activities, probate activities and the administration of oaths. Part 5 of the Act makes provision about licensing authorities and their functions. CILEx is already an approved regulator in relation to these reserved legal activities by virtue of Part 1 of Schedule 4 to the Act, the Legal Services Act 2007 (Approved Regulators) Order 2011 (S.I. 2011/1118) and the Legal Services Act 2007 (Approved Regulator) (No. 2) Order (S.I. 2014/2937). Designation as a licensing authority will allow CILEx to license alternative business structures, which are businesses wholly or partly owned or controlled by non-lawyers, to provide legal services, or a mixture of legal and other services, to the public.",
