57. Amendment of section 23.

Section 23 (references of certain matters to Director) of the Act of 2000 is amended by the addition of the following subsections:

"(4) The relationship between a solicitor employed by the Authority or any barrister retained by him or her and a person referred to in subsection (1)(a) shall be the same as the relationship between a solicitor or barrister and a client who is not such a person.

(5) Subsection (4) is without prejudice to the rights and responsibilities of the Authority and the obligations arising out of the relationship between the Authority and the solicitors employed by it.

(6) For the avoidance of doubt, it is declared that sections 59 (prohibition of solicitor acting as agent for unqualified person) and 64 (bodies corporate) of the Solicitors Act 1954 do not apply in regard to the relationship between a solicitor employed by the Authority and a person referred to in the said subsection (1)(a).".
