This section is subsidiary, really, to Section 6, but the point I want to make relates more to Section 7. Subsection (1) mentions that the Society or a person can apply to this Disciplinary Committee for the holding of an inquiry into the conduct of a solicitor on the grounds of alleged misconduct, and so on.
Subsection (2) says:—
Where an application in relation to a solicitor is duly made under this section and the Disciplinary Committee, after consideration of the application, are of opinion that there is no prima facie case for inquiry, they shall so inform the applicant in writing and shall take no further action in relation to the application.
My main point is to ask what further redress has an individual, once such an inquiry has been held and it has been decided by the Disciplinary Committee that there is no prima facie case and that they will take no further action? I want to know what is the further redress of the aggrieved person—the person entitled under subsection (1) to ask for the inquiry— when he finds that this Disciplinary Committee, after the inquiry, decide to take no action. As it is being set up under this Bill, this Disciplinary Committee is to be composed largely or wholly of solicitors.
