Part 3: Reserved legal activities

The Board may recommend that an activity should cease to be a reserved legal activity.

Schedule 6 makes provision about the making of recommendations for the purposes of this section.

The Lord Chancellor must consider any recommendation made by the Board for the purposes of this section (but nothing in section 208 (minor and consequential provision etc) authorises the Lord Chancellor to give effect to such a recommendation).

Where the Lord Chancellor disagrees with a recommendation (or any part of it), the Lord Chancellor must publish a notice to that effect which must include the Lord Chancellor's reasons for disagreeing.
