LPS and MCA Code consultation – video Q&As

LPS and MCA Code consultation – video Q&As by Alex Ruck Keene

Alex Ruck Keene answers your questions - LPS and MCA Code consultation:

Thanks very much to everyone who sent in questions. I have done three videos trying to answer them. If there are more, I’m happy to try to do another! (Questions to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. – not via social media, not least as I’m still enjoying the silence not being on Twitter).

I have recorded three separate ones. The first is one clarifying points about the consultation and giving some thoughts about parts of the Code which people have suggested are not clear.

Please see the webinars below:

The second video is about parts of the Code which people have made clear they don’t agree with.

The third, for true enthusiasts, gets into some complicated questions put by people about the Code.

Important caveats: none of these represent legal advice, and all of them represent my own view.

My rapid reaction overview of the LPS consultation is here, and my (updated) LPS resources page is here.
