Before the passing of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990, solicitors had a near-complete monopoly on conveyancing work.
As such, Section 34 of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 established the Authorised Conveyancing Practitioners Board as a statutory corporation.
[5] Qualified people are defined as solicitors, barristers, licensed conveyancers and notaries, as well as any companies and incorporated bodies found in Section 9 of the Administration of Justice Act 1985.
[9] Members hold their position for three years, and as with the Advisory Committee they are provided with money for a staff and running costs.
[9] Sections 41 and 42 establish conveyancing appeals tribunals which hear complaints against decisions made by the Practitioners Board.
