Keeling schedule 2007 Act

. © 18 Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 asp 5 (Scottish Act) 11 Fair and reasonable: matters to be taken into account by Commission In considering what is fair and reasonable in the circumstances, the Commission is to take into account the relevant law (including levels of damages awarded by courts in similar circumstances) and relevant codes of practice, professional rules, standards and guidance. 12 Services complaint: notice where not upheld or upheld (1) The Commission must give notice in writing of a— (a) determination by it under section 9(1) not to uphold a services complaint; (b) determination by it under that section upholding any such complaint; (c) determination, direction or report by it under section 10(2), to the complainer and every practitioner specified in it and, where section 10(3) applies, to the employing practitioner by sending to each of them a copy of the determination, the direction or, as the case may be, the report. (2) Where the determination is made by a determination committee by virtue of paragraph 13(2)(d)(i) or, as the case may be, (ii) of schedule 1, notice under subsection (1) must specify the reasons for the determination. 12A Services complaint upheld: failure to refund fees and outlays (1) This section applies where— (a) under section 10(2)(a), the Commission directs the practitioner or the employing practitioner (as the case may be) to refund an amount in respect of fees or outlays of the © 19 Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 asp 5 (Scottish Act) practitioner already paid by or on behalf of the client to whom the professional services were provided by the practitioner (such amount being referred to in this section as “the fee refund”), (b) any proportion of the fee refund has not been paid by the expiry of the period of 90 days commencing on the day on which notice of the direction was given to the practitioner or the employing practitioner in accordance with rules made under section 32(1), and (c) the failure to pay any proportion of the fee refund within that period is— (i) where the direction was given to the practitioner, as a result of the death, insolvency or involuntary cessation of trade of the practitioner, (ii) where the direction was given to the employing practitioner, as a result of the insolvency or involuntary cessation of trade of the employing practitioner. (2) The proportion of the fee refund that has not been paid is to be treated for the purposes of the practitioner’s or the employing practitioner’s (as the case may be) professional indemnity insurance as if it were an amount of compensation that the Commission had directed under section 10(2)(d) the practitioner or employing practitioner to pay to the complainer. (3) But subsection (2) applies only to the extent that the amount of the fee refund that has not been repaid, taken together with any amount of compensation that the Commission directed the practitioner or the employing practitioner to pay to the complainer under section 10(2)(d), does not exceed £35,000. (4) The Scottish Ministers may by regulations amend subsection (3) to substitute a different amount for the one for the time being specified there. (5) Before making regulations under subsection (4), the Scottish Ministers must consult— (a) the relevant professional organisations, and (b) such groups of persons representing consumer interests as they consider © 20 Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 asp 5 (Scottish Act) appropriate. 13 Services complaint: reports (1) The Commission may, if it considers it appropriate to do so in any particular case, publish a report of— (a) any mediation which has taken place by virtue of section 8(5) in relation to a services complaint, the outcome of which is accepted by both the complainer and the practitioner; (b) an investigation of a services complaint under section 9 and— (i) any settlement proposed under subsection (2) of that section as respects the complaint, which is accepted as mentioned in subsection (4) of that section; (ii) any determination of the complaint under subsection (1) of that section; (c) a determination, direction or report under section 10(2). (1A) Where the Commission identifies that a number of services complaints against a particular practitioner have resulted in an outcome mentioned in any of paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (1) (or any combination of the same), the Commission may, if it considers it appropriate to do so, publish a report relating to the complaints and the outcomes. (1B) Subsections (1) and (1A) are subject to subsection (5). (2) A report under subsection (1) must not (unless the complainer consents)— (a) mention the name of the complainer; (b) include any particulars which, in the opinion of the Commission, are likely to identify the complainer. (2A) A report under subsection (1A) must not— © 21 Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 asp 5 (Scottish Act) (a) mention the name of a complainer without the complainer’s consent, (b) include any particulars which, in the opinion of the Commission, are likely to identify any complainer without the complainer’s consent. (3) A report under subsection (1) or (1A) may only— (a) mention the name of the practitioner complained of; or (b) include any particulars which, in the opinion of the Commission, are likely to identify the practitioner, if the practitioner consents or the condition in subsection (4) is met. (4) The condition is that— (a) the case is exceptional; (a) either— (i) in relation to a report under subsection (1), the case is exceptional, (ii) in relation to a report under subsection (1A), the circumstances or number of complaints is exceptional, (b) in the opinion of the Commission, it is in the public interest for the identity of the practitioner concerned to be included in the report; and (c) the Commission has given not less than 4 weeks notice in writing to the practitioner that it intends to identify the practitioner in the report, specifying the reasons for its decision. (5) Subsections (1) and (1A) do not apply in relation to— (a) a determination of a complaint under section 9(1) that is not upheld following an application for review under section 20A(1), (b) a determination, direction or report under section 10(2) that is not upheld following an © 22 Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 asp 5 (Scottish Act) application for review under section 20A(1). (6) Where the review committee upholds a services complaint or confirms a determination under section 9(1) to uphold a services complaint, the reference in subsection (1)(b)(ii) to a determination of the complaint under section 9(1) is to be treated as a decision of the review committee under section 20A(6). (7) Where the review committee decides under section 20A(6) to direct that a step mentioned in section 10(2) be taken, subsection (1)(c) is to be read as if the reference to “under section 10(2)” were a reference to “as is mentioned in section 10(2) that is directed to be taken by the review committee in its decision under section 20A(6)”. 14 Determination under section 9(1) or taking of steps under section 10(2): effect in relation to proceedings (1) Neither the making of a determination under section 9(1) upholding a complaint, nor the taking of any steps under section 10(2) may be founded upon in any proceedings. (2) A direction under section 10(2)(d) to a practitioner to pay compensation to a complainer does not prejudice any right of the complainer to take proceedings against the practitioner for damages in respect of any loss which the complainer claims to have suffered; and any amount directed to be paid to the complainer under that section may be taken into account in the computation of any award of damages made to the complainer in any such proceedings. 15 Complaint appears during mediation or investigation to fall within different category (1) Where a relevant professional organisation at any time during any mediation by it, or its 1 investigation, of a conduct complaint remitted to it under [section 6(2)(a)] considers that it is reasonably likely that the complaint (or any element of it) may instead constitute a services complaint, it must— © 23 Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 asp 5 (Scottish Act) (a) suspend the mediation or, as the case may be, the investigation; (b) consult, co-operate and liaise with the Commission as respects the matter; (c) send the complaint and any material which relates to it and which is in the organisation’s possession to the Commission; (d) give notice in writing to the complainer and the practitioner that it so considers and is so doing. (2) Where the Commission at any time during its mediation by virtue of section 8(5) in relation to, or investigation by virtue of section 9(1) of, a services complaint considers that it is reasonably likely that the complaint (or any element of it) may instead constitute a conduct complaint, it must— (a) suspend the mediation or investigation; (b) send a copy of the complaint and any material which relates to it and which is in the Commission’s possession to the relevant professional organisation; (c) consult, co-operate and liaise with the relevant professional organisation as respects the matter; (d) give notice in writing to the complainer, the practitioner and the relevant professional organisation that it so considers and is so doing. (3) Where, in the circumstances referred to in subsection (1) or (2) the Commission, having regard to the views expressed by the relevant professional organisation as respects the matter, considers that— (a) its determination under [section 2(1A)(a)] as respects the complaint should be confirmed (to any extent), it must so determine; and the determination under this paragraph must specify the extent to which the determination under that section is confirmed; (b) a complaint (or any element of a complaint) which was determined by it under [section © 24 Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 asp 5 (Scottish Act) 2 2(1A)(a)] to constitute— (i) a conduct complaint constitutes instead a services complaint; (ii) a services complaint constitutes instead a conduct complaint, it must determine accordingly. (4) Where, or to the extent that, the Commission determines under subsection (3)(a) to confirm to any extent its determination under [section 2(1A)(a)]— (a) it must give notice in writing to the complainer, the practitioner and the relevant professional organisation by sending to each of them a copy of the determination and specifying the reasons for the determination; (b) any suspension under subsection (1)(a) or (2)(a) ceases. (5) Where the Commission determines under subsection (3)(b) that a complaint (or any element of a complaint) which was determined by it under [section 2(1A)(a)] to constitute a services complaint constitutes instead a conduct complaint, it must— (a) remit the conduct complaint to the relevant professional organisation to deal with (and give to the organisation any material referred to in [section 6(2)(a)]); (b) give notice in writing to the complainer, the practitioner and the relevant professional organisation by sending to each of them a copy of the determination and specifying— (i) the reasons for the determination; (ii) that the conduct complaint is being remitted under paragraph (a); (iii) the relevant professional organisation to which it is being remitted; (iv) that the relevant professional organisation is under a duty under this Act to deal with the conduct complaint. © 25 Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 asp 5 (Scottish Act) (6) Where the Commission determines under subsection (3)(b) that a complaint (or any element of a complaint) which was determined by it under [section 2(1A)(a)] to constitute a conduct complaint constitutes instead a services complaint— (a) it must give notice in writing to the complainer, the practitioner and the relevant professional organisation by sending to each of them a copy of the determination and specifying the reasons for the determination; (b) sections 8 to 12 apply to the services complaint as they apply where a determination is made under [section 2(1A)(a)] that a complaint constitutes a services complaint. 16 Power to monitor compliance with directions under section 10(2) (1) The Commission must, by notice in writing, require every practitioner specified in any direction under section 10(2) to give, before the end of such period being not less than 21 days as the notice specifies, an account and explanation of the steps which the practitioner has taken to comply with the direction. (2) Where an appeal a review against any such direction is made under section 20A section 21(1), any notice under subsection (1) relating to the direction ceases to have effect pending the outcome of the review the appeal. 17 Power to examine documents and demand explanations in connection with conduct or services complaints (1) Where the Commission is satisfied that it is necessary for it to do so for the purposes of section 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 15 or 16 or any provision in rules made under section 32(1) (but only in so far as the provision in the rules relates to the categorisation of complaints), it may give notice in writing in accordance with subsection (2) to the practitioner, the practitioner’s firm or, as the case may be, the employing practitioner. © 26 Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 asp 5 (Scottish Act) (2) Notice under subsection (1) may require— (a) the production or delivery to any person appointed by the Commission, at a time and place specified in the notice, of all documents mentioned in subsection (3) which are in the possession or control of the practitioner, the firm or, as the case may be, the employing practitioner and which relate to the matters to which the complaint relates (whether or not they relate also to other matters); (b) an explanation, within such period being not less than 21 days as the notice specifies, from the practitioner, the firm or, as the case may be, the employing practitioner regarding the matters to which the complaint relates.

(3B) But subsection (3A) does not prevent the disclosure of a document or information that is the subject of another right of confidentiality (regardless of whether or not the client of the practitioner, practitioner’s firm or employing practitioner consents to the disclosure). (3C) For the purpose of subsection (3A), a document or information is subject to legal privilege if it constitutes a communication— (a) between the practitioner, the practitioner’s firm or the employing practitioner and the © 27 Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 asp 5 (Scottish Act) client of the practitioner, practitioner’s firm or employing practitioner, or (b) made in connection with, or in contemplation of, legal proceedings and for the purpose of those proceedings, which would, in legal proceedings, be protected from disclosure by virtue of any rule of law relating to confidentiality of communications. (4) Where the Commission is satisfied that it is necessary for it to do so for the purposes of section 2, 4, 8, 9, or 10 or any provision in rules made under section 32(1) 10 or 15, it may give notice in writing in accordance with subsection (5) to the complainer.

They can say no. I want to move on to the lending code. Paragraph 3.2 of that code says:“Object(s) shall not be on loan for a period longer than three years except where Object(s) are part of a tour where a longer period is required”.Under what circumstances would a longer period be required?
