87A: Deputy Review Authority

You could also call this:

"A Deputy Review Authority helps the Review Authority and has similar powers and duties."

Illustration for Legal Services Act 2011

You have a Deputy Review Authority to help the Review Authority. The Deputy Review Authority has the same functions, powers, duties, and immunities as the Review Authority, except for issuing practice notes under section 87D. When the law talks about the Review Authority in sections 85 to 87 and Part 3 of Schedule 3, it also means the Deputy Review Authority. You need to remember that this is subject to section 87B. The Deputy Review Authority is appointed under section 84(2). This helps the Review Authority do its job.
