The SRA, in its consultation, linked here, is seeking the profession’s views on Post Six Year Run Off Cover (PSYROC) and the continuation of the Solicitors indemnity Fund (SIF).
If the SIF closes, as planned, in September 2022, without alternative arrangements being made for PSYROC, firms which have closed without a successor practice will be left uninsured for claims made after their mandatory six-year run off cover has expired. This will not only have important implications for solicitors but also for our clients.
We have arranged a meeting on 25 January at 12pm to discuss this important consultation and everyone is welcome. To attend please email CarlaJones@manchesterlawsociety.org.uk to be sent the link.
Individual solicitors are also being encouraged by the Law Society to respond directly to the consultation and The Law Society will also be responding on the profession’s behalf. The consultation closes on 15 February.
The Law Society has asked for any examples of the following:
Any examples that members may be able to provide of long-tail claims, that arise more than six years after a firm has closed. Some anonymised, real-life examples would be helpful to illustrate the kinds of consumer losses that might go uncompensated in the absence of SIF.
Details of legal services which may no longer be provided by your members if there is no post-six-year run-off cover?
Examples of the types of clients/consumers which are likely to be impacted as a result?
If you have any examples of the above that you are happy for us to share with the Law Society, could you please email me at CarlaJones@manchesterlawsociety.org.uk by no later than midday on 17 January.
Do you have a new starter join or a promotion in your office? Has your team been fundraising or volunteering?
