QLTS Regulations 2010 - Impact on Indian lawyers

Posted by Ratio Juris on 2 September 2010 in News and current affairs

The QLTS (UK) Regulations (2010) were unveiled yesterday. It sets out a list of Jurisdictions from which lawyers are permitted to take the transfer test.

Surprisingly, India has been omitted from that list. It appears that this, in effect restricts Indian lawyers from qualifying in UK via the transfer test route.

Would like to hear on this issue opinions from other members .

Inadvertent omission or a tit-for-tat measure? This should be bigger news.

We have done some more research and published the following article - it does not appear to be too sinister.

May be, its just that Indian Lawyers are not qualified after being trained like the English lawyers are.
