Modifications Committee Independent Legal Support Meeting 53 06 February 2014
Background • Tender process 2009 McCann Fitzgerald appointed as independent legal advisors to the Modifications Committee commencing June 2010 • Upon Committee request at Meeting 47, McCann Fitzgerald undertook a legal review of Mod_02_13 Registration of Charges • It was necessary to subcontract part of the legal review to NI firm Pinsent Masons, due to the fact that the T&SC is governed by NI law (as opposed to ROI law)
Issues for Committee Consideration • Is it time for the Modifications Committee to re-assess the current provision of independent legal support by McCann Fitzgerald? • Would it be more prudent for a NI firm to provide the Mods Committee with independent legal support, given that the T&SC is governed by NI law?
