Society of Licensed Conveyancers welcomes CLC clarity on Mazur

The Society of Licensed Conveyancers (SLC) has welcomed The Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) clear direction in respect of High Court ruling on Mazur that there is no impact on the Licensed Conveyancer profession.

Simon Law, SLC Chair said:

 ‘The Society was confident that Mazur had no impact on conveyancing or probate, and it is reassuring that the CLC made its position clear on this issue.  Schedule 3, section 3 of the Legal Services Act 2007 states that non-licensed individuals are able to undertake probate and conveyancing work in regulated practices under the supervision of qualified and regulated lawyers. This is enabled through exemptions in relation to the reserved activities of Reserved Instrument Activities (conveyancing) and Probate which allow work to be undertaken under supervision. Licensed Conveyancer firms can go about their business without any concern over the Mazur ruling.’
