I am glad Mr Smithers can see the conflict of interest in the Land Registry providing commercial services alongside its public service remit.

Yet the Law Society is using the Conveyancing Quality Scheme to force over 3000 firms to buy its own training services. If that is not a conflict of interests what is? Moreover it is (so experts advise) illegal under competition law.

A case is proceeding in the Competition Appeal Tribunal to force the Law Society to end this abuse. The Gazette has not published one word about this, despite the huge amount of members' money being spent by the Law Society defending the case.

I represent Socrates Training in the litigation. Please contact me if you would like to know more. bernard at socrates-training.co.uk
