We understand the considerable distress and uncertainty the September 2025 Mazur judgment caused for many Chartered Legal Executives. We therefore welcome today’s Court of Appeal judgment and the clarity and reassurance it brings for those affected.
In our role as regulator, our priority continues to be supporting Chartered Legal Executives to be able to continue delivering high-quality legal services with confidence. Since the original Mazur ruling, over 750 CILEX Fellows have successfully secured litigation practice rights. These rights enable Chartered Legal Executives to litigate without the need for supervision.
We will now be working with regulators and stakeholders to update guidance to reflect the full implications of the appeal judgment in due course.
