He wrote to me and stated that my employer would not let the expert into their premises so the expert could not produce a report.<br /><br />The lawyer then stated that he would apply for a court order so that the expert could go into my employers workplace. He never applied for a court order. Some months later he told me he was trying to get legal aid for another ergonomics expert. I said to him you did not get a court order for the last expert. <br />==============================<br />Now I know the lawyer was insured by Royal Sun Alliance the same as my GP and my employer. They covered my injuries up because they pay into the insurance company I was claiming against. The refusal of my lawyer to make things difficult for my employer is self explanatory.<br /><br />This is why no one gets compensation for workplace injuries. This case has been repeated thousands of times with the same pattern and even if they do not share the same insurers they will spin the case out. The person injured will have their injuries covered up, no lawyer acts for an injured person, they take on the case knowing full well they are going to cover everything up. <br /><br />Just like Peter when he attempted to get compensation against his lawyer, THE LAW SOCIETY KILLED OFF HIS LEGAL AID AND REFUSED TO PROSECUTE PENMAN, this is how the legal and medical establishment work they are all against their clients. <br /><br />Finally a case about a lecturer in litigation against Motherwell college, four law firms to date over fifteen years. The lawyers and the insurers are different but they still string the case out. <br /><br />Please never trust what a lawyer tells you because if they ruin you the Law society and Scottish Legal Complaints Commission are there for one purpose, to clear your lawyer and keep him out of the S**t. <br /><br />Do your job right by clients Law Society and you will not need to try and close down client websites.Law society SLCC safe houses for lawyersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-47295055656145684472011-06-18T13:16:34.403+01:002011-06-18T13:16:34.403+01:00Have you been injured in the last three years and ...Have you been injured in the last three years and it was not your fault? <br /><br />This is how the lawyers attrack clients but beware.<br /><br />If the party you intent taking legal action against shares the same insurers as the lawyers and doctors you are dealing with you will receive £0.00 especially if your injuries are not visible and you need medical reports to argue this is the case.<br /><br />Finally if the self regulators could not hide behind the corruption of self regulation they could not be guilty of crimes against their clients. <br /><br />Just remember if you need to complain about one of those gods with medical or law degrees their colleagues will ensure they are exonerated. Transfer this power balance into a military context and a client is like person fighting with bare hands against a lawyer with a machine gun. <br /><br />In Scotland state actors as MacAskill knows are above the law. Now if MacAskill got drunk and drove a car he would be prosecuted, but if he stole clients assets when he was a lawyer a secret Law Society would deal with that. I am not saying MacAskill is a thief, as I have no evidence of that but self regulation places these powerful people in secretive positions, not public courts, why because lawyers think the public are too thick to understand how they operate when the real reason is that they could not operate as they do if they were subject to public scrutiny, hence the creation of dissident websites. <br /><br />Salmond loves the Law Society, and it is a mistake of the gravest magnitude to trust MSP's to deal with the omnipotence of self regulating criminals who control policymaking for the benefit of the few, to the detriment of the people who elected them. Scotland suffers from blindness when it comes to the power of state actors.HIDE BEHING CROWN IMMUNITY SALMONDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-70393708339265922612011-06-18T11:26:25.572+01:002011-06-18T11:26:25.572+01:00The vile people getting all the money are those in...The vile people getting all the money are those in the legal profession and Law Society Mr Salmond NEVER criticizes EVERAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-72610423744219031782011-06-18T10:35:34.251+01:002011-06-18T10:35:34.251+01:00Eck claims to understand the legal system yet does...Eck claims to understand the legal system yet does nothing about it and lets the Law Society run the show.Only now for a headline does he come in to take the heat off MacAskill for his own stupidity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-83123006180432767082011-06-18T01:04:42.523+01:002011-06-18T01:04:42.523+01:00Forget it kid this is like a war between 2 parts o...Forget it kid this is like a war between 2 parts of a mafia gang and they dont care who they hurt or take outin the process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-4831642743083269672011-06-17T23:35:26.960+01:002011-06-17T23:35:26.960+01:00Clearly Mr Salmond cares nothing about injustice s...Clearly Mr Salmond cares nothing about injustice so dont expect any change of tune from someone so arrogant as to attack judges because he didn't like the verdicts showing up Scotland's well named victorian justice systemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-56143693945099330512011-06-17T22:57:50.913+01:002011-06-17T22:57:50.913+01:00If vile people are getting £100million because Sco...If vile people are getting £100million because Scottish justice is crap its the fault of the Scottish Parliament & Scottish Government for not updating the stupid Scottish legal system in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-55503874357777869952011-06-17T22:47:25.822+01:002011-06-17T22:47:25.822+01:00In yet another attack on Scots access to justice, ...In yet another attack on Scots access to justice, Scotland’s Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill is reported to have threatened to remove Scotland’s £500,000 funding of the Supreme Court in London, as a way of preventing any human rights challenges to Scotland’s failing and rapidly deteriorating in terms of international standing legal system.<br /><br />This latest attack by Mr MacAskill on the rights of Scots to a fair hearing under the European Convention on Human Rights legislation comes on the back of yesterday’s broadside against the judges of the UK’s Supreme Court, who Mr MacAskill accused of having gained their knowledge of Scots Law by visiting the Edinburgh Festival.
