Neuberger MR calls for regulatory reform as ABS timeline is unveiled

Lord Neuberger is right. We now have excessive regulation of the legal profession. The LSB and BSB purport to be enterprising with regard to ABSs and LDPs, but the truth is that the BSB investigates and prosecutes Barristers for an assortment of petty infringements and seems already to live in fear of the LSB. These bodies have created a sense of fear at the Bar which ultimately works against the interests of clients who need their Barristers to be fearless, self-confident and strong in the face of Government, big corporations and indeed, Judges.
