The Solicitors Regulation Authority last week began revoking authorisations of firms that failed to complete their practising certificate renewals. As the Gazette went to press, 11% of expected applications had either been created and not finalised or not submitted at all.

The figure is similar to previous years, the SRA said. Firms and individuals needing help with their application should contact the SRA on 0870 606 2555.

See the SRA website for more information.
