Closed Consultation
Draft SRA (Cost of Investigations) Regulations
9 April 2009
Legal Services Act: New forms of practice and regulationConsultation paper 13
The deadline for submission of responses to consultation paper 13 on the Legal Services Act was 24 December 2008.
A report on responses to this consultation was considered by the SRA Board on 22 January 2009, when the board made the SRA (Cost of Investigations) Regulations 2009. The regulations came into force on 31 March 2009.
The information that appears below is for reference purposes only.
We invite you to comment on the draft SRA (Costs of Investigations) Regulations. The regulations are annexed to the consultation paper, which you can download below. We hope to introduce the regulations in March 2009.
We believe that a short consultation period—four weeks—is appropriate, as the draft regulations are only intended to put the current charging policy into the form of regulations, and given the importance of having the new regulations in place when the changes to the statutory powers come into force.
