Allow me to build the case with which I wish to disagree: it is conceivable that the priorities of the Ministry of Justice are just one element among others, and that a roundtable only materializes if other factors, such as funding or formal approval, are in place.
However, a charitable reading of the situation reveals that establishing these priorities by a leading government institution sends a strong signal, acting as an institutional catalyst.
Recognition by a higher authority, such as the Ministry of Justice, of the need to understand unregulated legal services confers legitimacy and momentum to initiatives by organizations like the Legal Services Board.
For example, emphasis on unregulated services justifies the proposal for a discussion on legal AI, even without an initially allocated direct funding for the roundtable, as it validates the urgency and relevance of the topic.
