These Regulations are made under the Legal Services Act 2007 (c. 29) (“the 2007 Act”). Parts 6 and 7 of the 2007 Act make provision in relation to the Office for Legal Complaints (OLC), including provision for the OLC ombudsman scheme to be extended to include complaints about regulated claims management companies. The Compensation Act 2006 (c. 29) (“the 2006 Act”) provides for the designation of a Regulator for regulated claims management services. Where no one is designated as the Regulator and the Secretary of State carries out the function by virtue of section 5(9) of the 2006 Act, the Lord Chancellor may charge periodic fees on those providing regulated claims management services to recover the expenditure incurred by the OLC. Claims management services means advice or assistance in relation to the making of a claim (as defined in section 4(2) of the 2006 Act). Regulated claims management services are those services prescribed in an order of the Secretary of State under section 4(1)(e) of the 2006 Act and include claims management services provided in relation to matters such as personal injury and financial products and services.
