Gentle Reminder – Submission of Branch Resolutions on the Enforcement of the Legal Practitioners’ Remuneration Order, 2023 (Deadline: December 20th, 2025)

TO: CHAIRMEN AND SECRETARIES OF ALL NON-COMPLIANT NBA BRANCHES

We refer to the initial information regarding the mandatory submission of Branch Resolutions on the enforcement mechanism for the Legal Practitioners’ Remuneration Order 2023.

The Committee notes with concern that 48 Branches are yet to fulfill this crucial requirement.

These resolutions provide the foundational data to structure the forthcoming Town Hall Meetings on Enforcement, ensuring that the strategies and compliance mechanisms discussed are tailored to each jurisdiction’s specific needs and challenges.
