Hi @MatthewRay,
You’re right, there are some new provisions in the MPR regarding Users – if you checked the marked-up version of the latest MPR on ARNECC’s website here, these should become apparent (see MPR 7.2.3 in particular, but note there are other applicable rules). Broadly speaking, the character requirements for users have been deepened, and will need to be actively considered by all Subscribers although, as you say, there are some deeming provisions for legal practitioners and licensed conveyancers.
We won’t be providing any material on these, as the updates are fairly straightforward, but we are working on a resource that our members can refer to to assist with checking off all of their obligations regarding users (including considerations about verification of identity, character, training, and monitoring). We’ll keep you posted on this – it’s not far away!
