It's a positioning victory for the Legal Services Board to present its initiatives in line with the priorities of the Ministry of Justice, but the idea that these priorities "allow" the AI roundtable is an overestimation of their influence.
Ministry priorities are only a favorable context, not a decisive trigger.
For a roundtable to materialize, the Legal Services Board must actively secure funding and stakeholder support, regardless of the Ministry's directives.
For example, without a specifically allocated budget or a firm political commitment, even the most relevant ministry priority will not suffice to make the event happen.
The maneuver here is to align the proposal to gain an advantage, not to prove a direct causality.
