Report on RICS governance scandal review delayed

Alison Levitt QC has postponed her report on an independent review into a governance row at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, with publication now expected in July.

Law firm Kingsley Napley, which is supporting Levitt on the enquiry, did not provide any further explanation for the delay. The outcome of the review was initially slated for mid-June.

Levitt, of 2 Hare Court Chambers, was drafted in to lead the review after Peter Oldham QC stepped down from the role in early April.

The call for evidence was issued at the end of April.

Kingsley Napley said the review has “received a healthy and encouraging response to its call for evidence”.

The review concerns allegations that RICS tried to suppress a critical internal report into its finances in 2018/19, and then unfairly dealt with those who sought to explore the issue.
