It revokes the Licensed Conveyancers (Compensation for Inadequate Professional Services) Order 2000 which increased the maximum compensation from £1,000 to £5,000.
1990 c. 41. Paragraph 16(1) was amended by the Licensed Conveyancers (Compensation for Inadequate Professional Services) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/643) which for the figure "£1,000" substituted the figure "£5,000". In paragraph 16(2) the words "Secretary of State" were substituted by the Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/1887), Schedule 2 paragraph 8(1)(d).
