Legal Updates for 2027 editions
In this section of the website, the Revise SQE team are delighted to provide you with updates on the law that is assessable on the SQE assessments. This page acts as your companion to the Revise SQE series of revision guides and will ensure that you remain up-to-date and ready for your assessments. This page will be populated as and when new updates arise of relevance to SQE candidates.
As detailed in the SQE1 Assessment Specification, the examinable law 'cut off' date is four months prior to the first assessment window. For candidates sitting SQE1 in January 2027, this ‘cut off’ date is 11 September 2026 (inclusive).
The updates below relate to the 2027 editions of Revise SQE books and are designed to assist candidates in the January and July 2027 sittings of SQE1 by providing them with any essential updates or changes to the law that may impact upon their sitting. They focus only on changes or developments between 1 May 2026 (‘law as at date’ for the 2027 editions) and 11 September 2026and 11 September 2026 (the 'cut off' date for the January 2027 examination) and then any changes or developments up to 12 March 2027 (the 'cut off' date for the July 2027 examination)
Any updates post-12 March 2027 will be incorporated into the 2028 editions of the Revise SQE titles, due to be published in August 2027.
