In brief: Sycamore in Law Soc Hong Kong visit

Phillip Sycamore, the president of the Law Society, is to fly in to Hong Kong at the beginning of April in a bid to resolve a dispute over the requalification requirements placed on English-qualified lawyers looking to practice there. English lawyers have lost their automatic exemption from having to sit the Overseas Lawyers' Qualifications Examination (OQLE) in Hong Kong but can be exempted. The society wants the exemption to be used more often.
