Legal Services Act 2007 (Functions of an Approved Regulator) Order 2009

My Lords, I was involved in the passage of the Legal Services Act 2007. I have spoken long and boringly on that to reopen all those issues again. With regard to the Legal Services Act 2007 (Consequential Amendments) Order, I am rather sorry to see the loss of the word "taxation" from the Charities Act. It was certainly well understood. My costs are still taxed by a taxing officer, as far as I am aware; that is why I do not get as much as I ask for. The concept is still being maintained, with assessments and costs officers, so why we have to modernise the terminology, I am not sure. I have no objection to either of these orders going through.
