COMPANY LAW UPDATES in 2017 2.5 CPD – GROUP STUDY POINTS

Speaker: Pamela Keegan BL

The legislative framework for companies operating in Ireland is

constantly evolving but the changes now seem to be happening

more rapidly than ever. The Companies Act 2014 was supposed to

be a collection of all the requirements for a company trying to

navigate safely within the confines of the law, but since its

introduction on the 1st June 2015, there have been amendments to

the Act itself, changes to the Companies Registration Office

procedures under the Act and also a number of new Statutes and

Regulations brought in, all of which mandate compliance by Irish

companies.

PERSONAL INJURIES UPDATE IN 2017 2.5 CPD GROUP STUDY POINTS

Speaker: Pamela Keegan B.L.

This seminar will consider:

1) Updates re: legislation for periodic payments

The Civil Liability (Amendment) Bill 2017 has finally reached report stage in the Seanad and this seminar will review the provisions of the Bill and consider how it will

impact PI cases in all courts.

2) The Supreme Court ruling on The Law Society –v- the MIBI (Setanta case)

Both the High Court and the Court of Appeal have held that it is the MBI and not the Insurance Compensation Fund that should pay the claims arising from the liquidated

Setanta Insurance Company Limited. The Supreme Court has now heard the MIBI’s appeal but what will its ruling be and why?

3) An overview of High Court, Court of Appeal and Circuit Court cases in 2017

This seminar will consider the judiciary’s current attitude to personal injury claims and the level of general damages from the Circuit Court up.

4) The new Personal Injuries Commission

Pursuant to the recommendations in the Cost of Insurance Working Group Report on the Cost of Motor Insurance, a Personal Injuries Commission has been established

and on the 10th January 2017, former President of the High Court, Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns, was appointed chairperson.

The purpose of the Personal Injuries Commission is to investigate and make recommendations on processes in other jurisdictions which could enhance the claims process

in Ireland. The terms of reference include the commissioning of medical research, benchmarking of international awards for personal injury cases, analysing and

reporting on international compensation levels and compensation mechanisms.

CLIENT CARE & CONFLICT OF INTEREST

3 CPD PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT POINTS

Speaker: Pamela Keegan B.L.

The legislative framework for solicitors operating in Ireland is constantly evolving but the core issue of client care is something which the Law Society has recently made much

comment about. In its Annual Report of Lay Members 2014 – 2015, the Law Society Complaints and Client Relations Committee, noted that “The number of complaints alleging

Inadequate Professional Services has gone up slightly in the past year.”

The Law Society is empowered to investigate complaints against solicitors by or on behalf of clients alleging the following: misconduct as defined by Section 3 of the Solicitors (Amendment) Act, 1960 as amended by Section 24 of the Solicitors (Amendment) Act, 1994 and by Section 7 of the

Solicitors (Amendment) Act, 2002;

the provision of inadequate legal services as provided for by Section 8 of the Solicitors (Amendment) Act, 1994;

the charging of excessive fees as provided for by Section 9 of the Solicitors (Amendment) Act, 1994;

In addition, the Society may investigate any allegation, including an allegation withdrawn for whatever reason, where the Society considers that, in pursuance of its regulatory

functions and in the public interest, the Society ought to investigate or continue to investigate.

Accordingly, this seminar will propose ways to minimise client complaints with reference to the specific types of complaints made to the Law Society in the last number of

years. In particular, it will offer template letters for various types of communications with clients, will set out the requirements re: client communications and will also outline

changes in statutory duties regarding information to be provided to new clients.

SOLICITORS REGULATIONS

2 CPD SOLICITORS REGULATIONS POINTS

Speaker: Aoife Beirne B.L.

This talk will detail how the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015, when commenced in full, will impact upon solicitors.

The 2015 Act effects the most significant reform of the legal profession and legal costs to date. The Act establishes a new and independent Legal

Services Regulatory Authority with responsibility for oversight of the profession. Also due to be commenced shortly are provisions relating to: an

independent complaints system, an enhanced legal costs regime (with the Office of the Taxing Master being replaced with the Office of the Legal

Costs Adjudicator), a framework for new business models (including the limited liability partnership), and reforms to the regulation of legal

services advertising.
