The Law Society has called for legal aid to be exempt from the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, which came into force in June.
It said a number of the provisions are impractical and argued that the EU directive on which the regulations are based was never intended to apply to legal aid.
Current definition involves a 'notoriously difficult, time-intensive, expensive and uncertain process', lawyers and journalists state.
Consultation opens on reforming the law of apologies in civil proceedings.
Measure will outlaw biometric categorisation systems based on sensitive characteristics and untargeted scraping of facial images from CCTV footage.
