The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (Appeals) (Amendment) Rules 2011
These Rules amend the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (Appeals and Amendment) Rules 2011 (“the principal rules”) so as to extend their scope to include appeals made to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal in respect of decisions of the Law Society under Part 5 of the Legal Services Act 2007 (alternative business structures) and licensing rules made by the Society under Part 5 of that Act. The principal rules already cover appeals made to the Tribunal in relation to decisions made by the Society under section 44D of the Solicitors Act 1974 and paragraph 14C of Schedule 2 to the Administration of Justice Act 1985.
