New Investigation, Disciplinary and Appeals Rules (IDAR)
Following consultation with ILEX members, IPS revised the rules
governing how allegations about the conduct of members is
investigated and disciplinary proceedings are brought.
The main driver behind the need for the
revisions was that members of the ILEX Council served on the
various committees and tribunals considering complaints. This
no longer happens: the dual role was inconsistent with the
requirement for complete separation of regulatory and
representative functions. We also took the opportunity to
draw on good practice among modern regulators, and to edit away a
good deal of verbiage which had become redundant over the
years.
The new rules took effect on 4 January 2010.
