Listen "Para [il]legal and the conduct of litigation"
Episode Synopsis
It is a criminal offence and contempt of court to carry out ‘a reserved legal activity’ unless you are entitled to do so. In other words: thou shall not conduct litigation unless you are a solicitor.
There is, however, a statutory defence of ignorance.
The High Court in London recently considered a case of a paralegal and an honest mistake.
