National Welcomes Legal Profession Report
National's Justice spokesman Tony Ryall has welcomed the Business Roundtable report on regulation of the legal
profession.
Mr Ryall said he thought many of the ideas in Dr McEwin's report were worth considering.
"There's a pragmatic acceptance that some of the work lawyers do does need regulation.
"A draft Law Practitioners Bill is before the Minister now. He would do well to consider some of this thinking in this
report.
"National will be seeking the profession's views on the BRT report and the Government's bill when it is finally tabled,"
Mr Ryall said.
