Public Notaries Act 1843 (c. 90)

5

After section 7 insert—

7AEffect of admission or grant of faculty

1

Despite any provision made by the Public Notaries Acts, a person's entitlement to carry on an activity which is a notarial activity is to be determined in accordance with the Legal Services Act 2007.

2

Nothing in the Public Notaries Acts is to be regarded, for the purposes of paragraph 5(2) of Schedule 3 to the Legal Services Act 2007 (exempt persons in relation to notarial activities) as authorising a person to carry on such an activity.

3

For this purpose—

  • “the Public Notaries Acts” means this Act and the Public Notaries Act 1801;

  • “exempt person” and “notarial activity” have the same meaning as in the Legal Services Act 2007.
