What disciplinary powers does the SRA have against Legal
Executives in Recognised Body or ABS?
It is possible for the SRA to fine a Chartered Legal Executive
where it decides that the Chartered Legal Executive breached
the relevant rules. The SRA can also refer the matter to the
Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal who have the power to impose a
section 43 order against the Chartered Legal Executive which will
prohibit the Chartered Legal Executive from working in a law firm
without the prior approval of the Law Society or to CILEx
Regulation who have the power to suspend or exclude the
Chartered Legal Executive from membership of CILEx and thereby
revoke their Chartered Legal Executive lawyer status.
Only CILEx Regulation can exclude a person from
membership of CILEx.
