Yes, but your job is to regulate the regulators.

From you?

But you have two organisations, the Law Society and the SRA, that have conflicting views and are issuing contradictory guidance to the very same people

14 Apr 2026Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1247)

I do not want to finish on a downer, but I would like to try to unravel some of the Mazur stuff. You just referred to the fact that you have a close relationship with the Law Society, and yet, as far as I can see, if we look at the Mazur judgment, the Law Society took a completely different view from yours. Your effect

I want to ask you, Anna, because you have the history, what conversations took place with the Law Society about the fact that your two organisations were issuing conflicting guidance. What happened? Were there conversations about the fact that you were saying, “Do this” in two different directions?

Are there any other areas of your remit where you fear you might find yourselves in the same situation going forward?

But that was clearly a four-year period of utter mayhem for everybody.

14 Apr 2026Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1247)

Are there any other areas of your remit where you fear you might find yourselves in the same situation going forward?

How do you make them do that?

14 Apr 2026Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1247)

So you are asking them to regulate themselves. Where is your place in this? What have you spotted that you feel should be dealt with?

14 Apr 2026Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1247)

If I can pick up on that, Anna, I think you said in 2022 that there was “an appetite” to move towards a single legal services regulator. I wonder whether you still feel that is the right way to go, and whether a single legal services regulator would be preferable to the current situation.

14 Apr 2026Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1247)

Thank you. I would now like to move to this: in its submission to the ongoing public bodies review of the LSB, the Legal Services Consumer Panel identified a number of consumer-facing reforms, such as meaningful quality indicators and comprehensive price transparency. Those, I understand, remain undelivered, so why is

You can be free, because you are just about to leave.

If you were going to start with a blank sheet of paper, what would we have?

16
14 Apr 2026Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1247)

It is not going to stop, is it? There is no end point when you are going to go, “Okay, fine. Now we need this.”

14 Apr 2026Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1247)

What levers do you have to make up that 12%?

From you?

Yes, but your job is to regulate the regulators.
