I am entitled to conduct litigation under primary legislation, but this does not appear on my Practising Certificate. Why is this?

If a barrister is entitled to conduct litigation under primary legislation, this will not be listed on their Practising Certificate or on their entry on the BSB’s Barristers’ Register. This is because their right to conduct litigation is by virtue of primary legislation, and not authorisation from the BSB.
