Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations recognise the Institute of Legal Executives as a prescribed body for the purposes of section 113 of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 and thus empower members of that Institute to act as commissioners for oaths.

1990 c. 41. Section 119(1) is an interpretation provision and is cited because of the meanings assigned to the words “member” and “prescribed”.
