The #CLLS has today raised a wide range of concerns over @sra_solicitors's proposals to extend its fining powers, finding it in places to be "arbitrary, not fit for purpose, and inconsistent with its obligations in common law and statute". More details 👇https://t.co/MaLnNKTssg

The #CLLS is pleased that the new Government has listened to the legal sector and reintroduced the #Arbitration Bill in today’s King’s Speech. This will help support more efficient dispute resolution, attract legal business, and promote UK economic growth https://t.co/1nQznFo1cR

Also in The Brief in this morning's @TimesLaw, our Chair Colin Passmore offers his thoughts on the first justice issue the new Government should address: the return of the Arbitration Bill, sorely needed to ensure London does not lose its place as a global centre for #arbitration
