I refer to the letter from Samantha Barrass. How much time and money has been spent coming up with the idea of changing ‘this firm is regulated by…’ to ‘authorised and regulated by…’?

I cannot see how all this ‘consultation’ and ‘regulation’ assists solicitors or the public. I wonder how many people will now be persuaded to instruct solicitors as a result of this change? I’ll hazard a guess: none. I must politely ask, is the SRA familiar with the notion of cost-benefits analysis?
