Conduct complaints about crooked lawyers lack transparency, face delays says Scottish Legal Complaints Commission after 'indy' regulator awards “reasonable” rating to Law Society of Scotland

SLCCLawyers look after their own as ‘independent’ regulator rates Law Society. CONDUCT COMPLAINTS against Scottish Solicitors, like all complaints about poor legal services provided by Scotland’s legal profession, are, according to a report released by the ‘independent’ Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (SLCC), ‘reasonably’ handled by the Law Society of Scotland, even though the entire complaints process lacks any transparency and clients are left facing lengthy delays of up to a year before the Law Society may eventually reach a conclusion.

The SLCC’s Review of the Law Society of Scotland's timescales in relation to conduct complaints handling, carried out in November 2012 and only recently published states concludes that the SLCC Board could take 'reasonable assurance' in the Law Society's overall complaints handling system but recognised that the processes, procedures and controls under review could benefit from a number of improvements.

Findings in the SLCC report stated : It was identified that there were no formally approved documented timescales or targets in place for investigating complaints under Law Society’s seven-stage complaint investigation process under the 2007 Act. In addition there were no formal timescales/targets in place to effectively measure the progress of a complaint through the Law Society‟s seven-stage conduct handling process.  However, we note that there are now some targets set out in the Complaints Investigator Manual (Conduct Complaints) which was approved by the Client Care Sub Committee in April 2012. These targets include timescales for dealing with correspondence,telephone calls and update letters.

A quarterly report of “Regulation-Conduct Complaints‟ is produced for the Board tracking progress against key indicators.  A copy of the report from November 2011 to end of January2012 indicated that the average number of days to process and conclude a complaint was 320 days. Our manual calculation identified a discrepancy (349 days) in the average number of days to process and conclude a complaint. We were informed that the average number of days is calculated automatically from Visual Files and is not manually verified prior to reporting to the Board.

The SLCC obtained a sample of 30 complaints covering the period of 01 October 2008 up to the planning phase of the Audit. The sample consisted wholly of closed cases which had reached the Closure stage. We identified those cases which exceeded the target of 320 days and split these into each individual stage of the seven stage complaint handling process.

Where complaints exceeded the average timescale, these were further investigated to identify at what stage(s) delays had occurred. From this we identified that the majority of delays/lengthy timescales in the process were within the Ingathering Evidence and Reporting Stages.

Further investigation of these stages identified the following factors created delays:
* delays responding to complainers‟ correspondence;
* cases being re-allocated to another Complaints Investigator during the process;
* re-organisation of the department;
* dealing with backlog of work; and
* non co-operation of the solicitors complained of leading to the issue of Section 48 Notices.

The SLCC found instances where parties were not kept informed when their case was being transferred from one Complaints Investigator to another, or where the Complaints Investigator was going to be absent for a period of time, e.g. annual leave. Lastly, we identified instances where there were large periods of inactivity in the complaint file, which could not be readily explained.

The SLCC recommended that the Law Society keeps the SLCC updated on the IT Visual File project and notifies the SLCC of any timescales which are set.

The SLCC also recommended that once timescales have been set, a process is developed to monitor timescales and targets to ensure these are met. These should be periodically reviewed to ensure that they accurately reflect the complaint handling process.

The SLCC also recommended the Law Society’s Regulation office should consider regularly publishing timescale targets on the website to ensure transparency.  It should consider publishing a summary of the numbers, business category of complaints received and the timescales in which they were resolved.

It should be noted many of the SLCC’s findings could just have easily been made every year over the past two decades as the Law Society of Scotland’s Complaints Department have consistently treated client complaints with year long delays, a lack of transparency and record levels of prejudice, proving that in 2013, little has changed with regard to regulation of Scotland's legal profession with clients & consumers getting a raw deal from poorly regulated solicitors who look after their own.

While no Press Release has been issued by the Law Society of Scotland, the SLCC said on their website the Law Society has accepted the overall finding of 'reasonable assurance' and has provided a detailed response as to what actions have been undertaken since the audit was performed and other actions that are in the pipeline. The SLCC went onto claim the Society will be monitored by the SLCC in terms of its on-going oversight role and some will form the subject of future reviews/follow-up work.

Law Society and SLCC are united confidence tricksters. They and their lawyers are about as independent as Goering and the Luftwaffe. This is fact, lawyers conduct is not monitored in Scotland.

Law Society and SLCC are against every citizen in Scotland. Your lawyer is not regulated, he is protected fanatically so crimes against you are covered up. We can tell you this because we tried to get justice. Fanatical protection of their lawyers, fanatical detestation towards those who use their complaints system. The SLCC did not stop Kippen Campbell of Perth starving one of their clients by issuing instructions to freeze his disability benefits when he was injured at work. Law Society and SLCC, bureaucratic life wreckers. Don't trust any lawyer.

Police are there to regulate the public and maintain law and order. Without them there would be no need for the criminal lawyer, or prisons.

Lawyers do not regulate the legal illegal boundary in civil law, it does not apply to them. They break the criminal law by stealing off clients and the police don't act against them because it is considered a civil law matter, to be dealt with by the regulator. There is a facade the Law Society and SLCC, who are meant to protect the public but don't. Lawyers are not regulated in Scotland, FACT.

Who are the SLCC commissioning this Report for?


The Scottish Public have seen right through them, as nothing other than patsies for the Law Society of Scotland to create a phoney-bone-of-contention to trick the Scottish Public into thinking that there is tension between the Law Society & the SLCC, when the opposite is the truth?

One of the more significant findings "The SLCC found instances where parties were not kept informed when their case was being transferred from one Complaints Investigator to another, or where the Complaints Investigator was going to be absent for a period of time, e.g. annual leave. Lastly, we identified instances where there were large periods of inactivity in the complaint file, which could not be readily explained"

A regulator not being in a position "to readily explain large periods of inactivity in a complaints file" is surely enough to raise rather more critical issues than appear in the SLCC's 'audit' of the LSoS.

Even a child could have written a better report than the SLCC and be more believable.

Was this exercise purely paper based or did the SLCC land on the Law Society's doorstep and demand to see the relevant papers?

Cant see either being trustworthy particularly considering the SLCC is populated by leavings from the Law Society itself..

Ah, this is called INTENTIONALLY DEFEATING THE ENDS OF JUSTICE TO KEEP CROOKED SCOTTISH LAWYERS IN A JOB?

By sacking successive Law Society of Scotland Reporters because they have stood up to the Law Society and refused to put in a Report which is lenient towards the crooked Scottish lawyer & the old classic of CHANGING Heads of Complaints (Read - changing the goalposts?)

It would amaze you how many honest Law Society Reporters are dismissed and their Reports struck out for failing to follow Law Society of Scotland ORDERS to cheat the system and do FAVOURS for their colleagues to get them off Scot-Free or a massively reduced sanction?

This is how THEFT gets changed to BORROWING WITHOUT CONSENT?

Naming and shaming is the result of people being left totally powerless. You can be certain 100% that there is no complaints system in Scotland to protect the public from lawyers. Lawyers believe there is a fair complaints system [power distorting reason] but you clients try using it. It is absolutely corrupt, that is a promise. The Law Society and the SLCC ARE ONE unit. Don't fall for their bullshit. They will crush you if you do.

How do the public legally act against Lord Gill? Through the Scottish Parliament? Pointless. Ask a lawyer to challenge him? Pointless. Through the press, good on the Sunday Mail and DOI.
=================================
The fact is that he cannot be removed, he cannot be challenged other than by the press. He is therefore a judicial dictator, if he can hide judicial and financial activities against the people of Scotland. Self regulation is legal dictatorship.

Lord Gill and his legal families decisions affect all of us. Yes they are a tight nit family, tighter in fact than many biological families. We have no powers to find out about this judicial families secret activities. I ask where is the balance of power? Please spread the word about this tyranny because these people are acting behind a secret network. Lord Gill as I have said before is only a man, just a speck of dust like all men in the cosmos. He must be subject to the utmost scrutiny because the public and the lawyer family are not equal in law therefore power. Self regulation in my opinion is a crime, we the public never agreed to. We were not consulted. It must end. They want total scrutiny over the public but demand that the public have no right of scrutiny over them. Mature individuals make up this legal family, I think not. They are good at reasoning in matters of law, but they flies out of the window when the lawyers reputation is at risk. They dominate by secrecy, that is their weapon against us. Spread the word about this when ever you can and expose this secret judicial family to stop them leaving us all rightless when it suits them.

Lawyers are unregulated. They just do what they want and believe clients are low class gullible imbeciles. Here is the reality. They want to be allowed to ruin you and they think you should be grateful to them for it. Did the Law Society prosecute Penman? NO. That is their idea of justice. And they are convinced they are honest decent human beings. Ask their clients [not them] and you will learn what this mafia is really about. They want their victims silenced. They want to be allowed to keep ruining people because they believe it is their right.

The Law Society refused to investigate a well known ex Partner in Ross Harper's litigation department. Here is what you did lawyer x.

You agreed with a family GP not to challenge him when he stopped his patients [your clients] medical certificates. He was also lying in her medical records too. You starved your client until her employer terminated her contract. She had her family to help her.

What is the link you scumbag? Royal Sun Alliance insure you all. She was injured at work and you covered it up so your insurers would be in the clear. You and your profession are human filth.
The law of Delict requires a causal link [ie doctor's report that your client's injuries have been caused by her employer], but that law is a lie. The links that protect you all [the truth you lawyers want kept secret] are your common insurer. There is no Health and Safety at Work if injuries are not visible.

Five months without a wage or benefits, these human rights abusers are extremely dangerous and fundamentally evil. Trust no lawyer. I promise you people out there if you try to sue your employer for RSI or some other invisible condition you will get a lawyer but they will cover it all up before you sign the legal aid forms.

Has anyone been unfortunate enough to have dealt with their complaints manager Mr Brownridge who after writing and explaining to him in great detail just how your advocate ruined your case, he writes back saying its not quite clear what your complaint is???????
===============================
Been there with reporting a GP. Went through NHS complaints local resolution process [a farce]. Manager dealing with complaint said I was bombarding the GP causing him confusion. The manager knew doctor was corrupt and it was any excuse to keep his other patients out of the picture. Lawyers only allow people who are no threat to their reputations into court.

Name & shaming is the inevitable result of a chronic imbalance of power. And they cannot stand this either. Self regulation was never meant to protect clients. They made their own rules and believed they were right to do so. Self regulation is of a bygone age. Consumers are encouraged to give feedback these days but the gutter trash known as lawyers have historically ruined many lives. That's why feedback terrifies them. They want us silenced.

You buy something on E bay for example a used fly rod around £200.00. The seller cannot mislead you because it will affect his reputation. Your home, mortgage, will, is worth much more than a used fly rod. And the group who deal with your real assets in life want us silenced. As I said lawyers designed this secret corrupt so called complaints system. If E bay buyers and sellers had no feedback mechanism E bay would never have worked. How much more important is feedback from old client to potential new clients when client assets are worth millions of pounds. Self regulation amounts to clients buying a service with no buyer protection.

A lawyer has buyer protection when he buys a car or house. Why should clients be discriminated against if lawyers will not accept the same deal? How can this be fair to the reasonable person? Historically there has been no protection for lawyers clients and it is the same today. Don't trust a profession that want protection when they buy and sell, and don't want you having protection when you buy legal [service]? from them.

There is no complaints system, that is their biggest lie.

The Law Society of Scotland, Faculty of Advocates, SLCC, SSDT all barefaced liars. There is no complaints system in Scotland or the UK for that matter. Learn that fact my friends and learn it well. I am not patronizing you but this lesson is critical to your well being, because their propaganda machine will tell you you have protection from crooked lawyers. That is their biggest lie. The so called regulator is more bent than the scum that stole your house or whatever injustice you have suffered. They are the greatest threat to your assets and health. Put it this way. At least when you smoke there is a warning on the cigarette packet.

Remember the bum cabbage lawyer who wrote "catch me if you can" also wrote "my clients can go to the SLCC with their complaint", he knows they will protect him, and do F**k all to protect you and me and all other clients. These bureaucracies are killers of client complaints. There is no complaints system you can go to not even the humble Citizens Advice Bureau a first level branch of the lawyers cover up system.

I only trust DOI, anyone else meant to deal with corrupt lawyers is always tainted by the Law Society.

The power structure between lawyers and clients can be compared to a football match. Lawyers V Clients but self regulation would demand that the clients legs were broken before kick off. In this football match there would be a referee but he would be a lawyer and could not bear a member of the lawyers team losing control of the situation. It is not about a fair playing field. It is about breaking legs for profit, and win any way you can.

The Law Society is the centre in control of a network of thugs, who ruin clients, and cast them aside after they have legally robbed them. Why is this robbery legal? Simple for it to be illegal someone in power has to enforce the clients rights. That means a destroyed career if the lawyers name was made public. Yes stealing from clients is legal in Scotland. Try and steal from a lawyer and Lord Gill's brotherhood will take you to one of the Courts they lock you out of when it suits them. And they call this a justice system.

The Law Society would love to infiltrate a Diary of Injustice the way they were invited into the SLCC. DOI tell the truth about these lawyers because they are free to do so and one of the team is a victim of these criminals, which beings me to my point. Only clients can tell the truth about this scummy profession because they have been on the receiving end of the lawyers scalpel. Its all about controlling the client when the latter deals with a lawyer and then controlling the complaints process to exonerate the lawyer.

The Law Society and its branches will never prosecute lawyers and remember people if this blog teaches you anything it is this.

There is no complaints system against legal professionals in this country. The Law Society propaganda will tell you otherwise but they are liars, as you will find out if you ever report a lawyer to them.

Never mind this new Chairman has assured the Law Society and its members that he will continue to assist them with the fraud and criminality they and its members perpetrate on the Scottish People, he would not have been appointed to this position by the Corrupt Solicitor infested SNP if he was going to do otherwise.
=============================
I liked this comment but I just want to tell you all when you walk into a law firms offices you cease to be a human being. Surprised? You become a thing, a commodity to be used to exploit the Legal Aid motherlode lawyers love and if they ruin you then you find out by writing to the SLCC or Law Society that there is no complaints system against your lawyer. Why are you a thing instead of a human being? The answer is simple, you are used for whatever corrupt scheme they are into at the time and then dumped before your day in court.
This is how they operate, they don't provide legal service, you are only money to them. There is no complaints system in Scotland. The Law Society and SLCC are there for one purpose, to ensure your lawyer keeps his reputation and keeps working and you are left ruined. This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It is why Diary of Injustice was created in the first place. Whenever you can avoid lawyers at all costs. They are bureaucratic gangsters.

This I think are the attitudes of lawyers towards clients and the way they have set up their protection system [which is called a complaints system, yeah right] is downright criminal. In fact the reality is there is no complaints system which puts them above the law. Trust no lawyer.

The Law Society refused to investigate a well known ex Partner in Ross Harper's litigation department. Here is what you did lawyer x.

You agreed with a family GP not to challenge him when he stopped his patients [your clients] medical certificates. He was also lying in her medical records too. You starved your client until her employer terminated her contract. She had her family to help her.

What is the link you scumbag? Royal Sun Alliance insure you all. She was injured at work and you covered it up so your insurers would be in the clear. You and your profession are human filth.
The law of Delict requires a causal link [ie doctor's report that your client's injuries have been caused by her employer], but that law is a lie. The links that protect you all [the truth you lawyers want kept secret] are your common insurer. There is no Health and Safety at Work if injuries are not visible.

Five months without a wage or benefits, these human rights abusers are extremely dangerous and fundamentally evil. Trust no lawyer. I promise you people out there if you try to sue your employer for RSI or some other invisible condition you will get a lawyer but they will cover it all up before you sign the legal aid forms.

As the Law Society of Scotland might say, 'what is your point caller'?

'You seem to be under the misapprehension that Scottish lawyers are honest'?

The Law Society would love to infiltrate a Diary of Injustice the way they were invited into the SLCC. DOI tell the truth about these lawyers because they are free to do so and one of the team is a victim of these criminals, which beings me to my point. Only clients can tell the truth about this scummy profession because they have been on the receiving end of the lawyers scalpel. Its all about controlling the client when the latter deals with a lawyer and then controlling the complaints process to exonerate the lawyer.

The Law Society and its branches will never prosecute lawyers and remember people if this blog teaches you anything it is this.

There is no complaints system against legal professionals in this country. The Law Society propaganda will tell you otherwise but they are liars, as you will find out if you ever report a lawyer to them.

When we set this up we thought, we will arrange to receive complaints from the cabbages who trust us with their legal affairs so we can cover our crimes up. Most are to thick to realize they are being conned anyway and only we lawyers have the right to justice.

Send the plebs through the courts when they steal money and we can steal and our colleagues can cover it all up. That makes us all winners. Who cares about the losers, they are stupid clients anyway.

This I think are the attitudes of lawyers towards clients and the way they have set up their protection system [which is called a complaints system, yeah right] is downright criminal. In fact the reality is there is no complaints system which puts them above the law. Trust no lawyer.

WRONG!

Scottish lawyers take advantage of EVERYONE?

Why?

Because they can.

There is ZERO incentive for Scottish lawyers to be honest & do the right thing?

If anything, the Law Society of Scotland have procured a system which awards the crooked and veritably encourages their members to fill-their-boots at the Public's expense?

Another Person dedicated to protecting Scotlands most Corrupt Organisation the Law Society of Scotland and its 10.000. Crooked members, who spend all their time defrauding the public and defrauding the Scottish legal Aid Board, which is just a PIGGY BANK FOR SOLICITORS TO PLUNDER, under the guise that is it for helping people with various Legal Problems, when nothing could be further from the truth.

Never mind this new Chairman has assured the Law Society and its members that he will continue to assist them with the fraud and criminality they and its members perpetrate on the Scottish People, he would not have been appointed to this position by the Corrupt Solicitor infested SNP if he was going to do otherwise.
=============================
I liked this comment but I just want to tell you all when you walk into a law firms offices you cease to be a human being. Surprised? You become a thing, a commodity to be used to exploit the Legal Aid motherlode lawyers love and if they ruin you then you find out by writing to the SLCC or Law Society that there is no complaints system against your lawyer. Why are you a thing instead of a human being? The answer is simple, you are used for whatever corrupt scheme they are into at the time and then dumped before your day in court.
This is how they operate, they don't provide legal service, you are only money to them. There is no complaints system in Scotland. The Law Society and SLCC are there for one purpose, to ensure your lawyer keeps his reputation and keeps working and you are left ruined. This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It is why Diary of Injustice was created in the first place. Whenever you can avoid lawyers at all costs. They are bureaucratic gangsters.

Scottish lawyers do not have Clients. They have CASH TREES?

To be pruned of £50 notes as and when they see fit?
