"Rogers said SRA rules state that lawyers must inform clients if they discover any act or omission which could give rise to a negligence claim – and may also need to report any negligence to the regulator...He recommended that firms that provided advice to businesses on implementing GDPR review this in relation to consent, and if it related to seeking specific consent from data subjects rather than advising them they could rely on other forms of consent, firms should consider notifying clients."

So, solicitors should be notifying their clients - and the SRA - if they gave advice which was too cautious on the topic of consent? What utter nonsense.
