The Legal Services Board, the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL), and the Law Centres Federation have all been granted permission to intervene in next month’s Mazur appeal. The Law Centres Federation, meanwhile, will be seeking clarity on the position of law centres. “Indeed, many well-respected personal injury practitioners over the years have been what were once known as ‘managing clerks’ and are now legal executives. Indeed, the intended legislative effect of the Act was to enlarge the categories of professionals who could conduct litigation, not to restrict them. Third, APIL said Sheldon J’s interpretation would lead to “unworkable, impracticable and unreasonable results, many of which would be most acutely felt by those undertaking work in the personal injury sector”.
