Consultations

Information for consumers
We are making it a priority to publish information which helps users of legal services be better informed about the nature of the legal system, the legal services and products which are available to them, some of the common traps and pitfalls and their rights and obligations. more...
Our two most fundamental purposes are to provide users of legal services a timely, effective, fair and reasonable means of redress for complaints and to promote, monitor and enforce appropriate standards of conduct in the provision of legal services. These purposes serve an even more fundamental purpose: to help protect and promote public confidence in the legal system, the administration of justice and the rule of law.
