The College of Law has instructed Matrix Chambers’ Rabinder Singh QC in response to changes made by the Solicitor Regulation Authority (SRA) to the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Test (QLTT) – changes the College claims could breach anti-discrimination legislation.

The College instructed Singh last month after the SRA toughened up its requirements for foreign lawyers looking to practise in the UK, who must now study under a UK-qualified lawyer for a year – replacing the previous requirement of two years’ common law experience.
