Legal Services Bill [HL]

To assist the Minister, can I suggest that some word such as ““exceptionally”” be put in? I would not have thought that it would be a general power, but there would be rare cases. The knowledge that there was the rare case might be an incentive to those who did not want to obey. They would know that it was not just a poor little old lady who had to try to go to court. The whole panoply of the OLC could be engaged. ““Exceptionally””, ““in unusual circumstances”” or some phrase like that might meet the case and show that it is unlikely to be used very often. It would not be an encouragement to someone who, for instance, was too lazy to go to court. It would only be used by somebody who could not manage going on their own.
