Abstract

In a recent Green Paper on restrictive trade practices policy [HMSO, 1988] the government suggested that those who currently occupied a privileged position in terms of restrictive trade practices would be required to justify the continuation of these privileges. The professions were identified as being in such a privileged position. Attention was particularly focused on the legal profession. This paper discusses that.
