Join us for this briefing on key issues related to regulation practices and principles!
PARN and our Regulation Special Interest Group (SIG) will be leading this exciting event.
Topics for the Regulation SIG Briefing
Data protection issues
Speaker: Dave Evans, Group
Manager – Business and Industry, Information Commissioner’s Office
A
key challenge for professional bodies that regulate their members concerns data
protection legislation, particularly when complainants endeavour to use the
right of subject access to obtain full details of confidential
investigatory/disciplinary information.
This session aims to:
- Contextualise
the scope of subject access requests in relation to confidential
disciplinary information
- Provide
guidance on how such requests should be handled
- Consider
how much or how little can be redacted
- Review
different formats of releasing information
For this session, a document produced through ongoing SIG
activity will be discussed with a view to wider distribution.
Rules vs Principles: Outcomes debate
Speaker: Katie Jackson – Strategy Manager at the Solicitors Regulation Authority
There has been a shift in
approach by regulators in England towards a principles approach in the legal
field, while a rules based approach is taken in the legal field in Scotland via
Scottish Practice Rules. Why has a change occurred for lawyers in England?
This issue has a parallel in
the accounting field where there is a general presumption that British
regulators follow a principles approach compared with American regulators who
are more rules based. What are the benefits and pitfalls of each approach? What
lessons are there to be learned by other regulators?
