When must remedial action be taken by solicitors upon a breach under SRA rules?

Solicitors have an obligation to take remedial action promptly upon discovering a breach or potential breach of the SRA rules. This means that they must take steps to address the situation and prevent further harm as soon as possible. The SRA expects solicitors to be proactive in identifying and addressing breaches, and to take appropriate action to remedy any harm caused. This might involve informing affected clients, compensating them for any losses, or taking steps to prevent similar breaches from occurring in the future. If a solicitor fails to take prompt remedial action, this may be seen as an aggravating factor when the SRA considers disciplinary action. It is therefore important for solicitors to act quickly and responsibly to address any breaches of the rules.
