The Code is "voluntary" only in the sense that the Law Society chose to adopt it (rather than being designated as a public authority under the FOIA 2000). That does not mean that the Code is devoid of legal effect or consequences. It is strongly arguable that the Code is a consumer notice within the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Even if it is not a consumer notice (or contract), a Code which confers the right to an adjudication cannot be regarded as being devoid of legal effect.
