Code of Conduct and Supporting Guides to Good Practice

Persons enrolling as members of the Institute of Legal Executives (ILEX) become bound by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. They must:

1. support the aims and objects of the Institute and
2. uphold the standards of professional practice prescribed in the Code of Conduct.

The Articles of Association provide for a Disciplinary Tribunal to be established which has power to consider and determine any complaint that a member is guilty of conduct unbefitting to a Fellow or to ILEX members generally. The Tribunal may decide that such a person may be excluded from membership or be reprimanded or admonished. It may also order a member to pay a fine, or costs, or compensation to a complainant.
