  • Consultation Reponse
    CONSULTATION REPONSE To Law Society of Scotland’s Regulation in the 21st Century: Guarantee Fund October 2015 A. INTRODUCTION The SLCC welcomes the Law Society of Scotland’s consultation1 on the Guarantee Fund. In particularly, we are pleased to see that the findings of KPMG’s independent review have been considered and the Society are now considering implemented some of the recommendations. We believe that following the KPMG review and before that Sheriff Principal Bowen’s report on Consumer Protections in Conveyancing Cases, now is the right time to consider changes to the Guarantee Fund to ensure clients and others are protected by a sustainable, effective system. Some of the changes we discuss will involve changes to legislation and it is entirely appropriate that these changes are considered at the same time the Society is proposing wider changes to the regulatory framework2. B. ABOUT US The Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (SLCC) is in independent statutory body providing a single point of contact for all complaints against legal practitioners operating in Scotland. The SLCC investigates and resolves complaints about inadequate professional services; refers conduct complaints to the relevant professional body and has oversight of complaint handling across the profession. The SLCC operates independently of the legal profession and government and aims to resolve complaints early, efficiently and effectively and to improve complaints handling across the profession. Through this work we aim to improve trust and confidence in Scottish legal services. Our annual report3 and website4 have more information on our work. 1 http://www.lawscot.org.uk/media/555164/Regulation-consultation-Guarantee-Fund-2015.pdf 2 http://www.lawscot.org.uk/media/555161/Regulation-consultation-Entity-2015.pdf 3 http://www.scottishlegalcomplaints.org.uk/media/56936/slcc_annual_report_2013-2014_- _final_electronic_version.pdf 4 http://www.scottishlegalcomplaints.org.uk The consultation to which we are responding relates only to the solicitor’s profession in Scotland.
