This could also be done for some politicians who seem to protect solicitors from all forms of malpractice. I understand a constituent printed over 2000 leaflets describing his dealings with an MSP and dropped them through letterboxs ( I recieved one and it altered my vote) desribing how his MSP had handled his complaint about 2 lawyers who had colluded in a court case. The exercise was extremely succesfull, one snout is no longer in the trough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-47074125849618241852012-04-05T17:39:35.259+01:002012-04-05T17:39:35.259+01:00It is a matter of fact, which can be proven in Cou...It is a matter of fact, which can be proven in Court with hundreds of examples, where the Law Society of Scotland are continually breaching their duty to the Scottish Public under the Solicitor (Scotland) Act 1980.<br /><br />Ergo, the Law Society are simply operating above the law and are a criminal gang.<br /><br />The Scottish Legal Complaints Commission was a pethetic exercise to 'change the perception of the Scottish Public so that they would believe that things would improve' and it was never the intention to improve the plight for the poor Client victims and to clean-up the rotten system.<br /><br />This has been proved to be the case as evidenced by statistics in addition to the appalling statements by the Law Society of Scotland apologists Jane Irvine and the recently departed Rosemary Agnew.<br /><br />The Law Society of Scotland is too powerful and is chock-full of criminals who have been allowed to act 'above the law' for too long.<br /><br />Get the Police in there to shut them down and to go through their computers with a fine-toothed-comb?<br /><br />At the moment in Britain there is a Legal Apartheid in operation, where some people have human rights and others dont.<br /><br />Google Hollie Greig Demands Justice?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-33808328917763487482012-04-05T12:59:24.189+01:002012-04-05T12:59:24.189+01:00Thank goodness for the SNP that it can rely on the...Thank goodness for the SNP that it can rely on the criminal apathy of so called consumer rights organisations in Scotland and London.<br /><br />Clearly all are pleased to see the 10th rate service, deemed good enough for consumers in Scotland, continue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-29911206868464220952012-04-05T12:42:42.914+01:002012-04-05T12:42:42.914+01:00Of course we cant name crooked lawyers in Scotland...Of course we cant name crooked lawyers in Scotland via the SLCC BUT we can let Peter do it because he's MUCH BETTER AND MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-22940962658462795832012-04-05T11:01:48.486+01:002012-04-05T11:01:48.486+01:00The "exact reason" we cant have naming &...The "exact reason" we cant have naming & shaming of bent lawyers in Scotland is because every single lawyer or their firm will end up being named & shamed because the whole bloody lot of them are either useless greedy or corruptAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-267498478484262792012-04-05T10:00:36.333+01:002012-04-05T10:00:36.333+01:00and what is the exact reason why cant we have this...and what is the exact reason why cant we have this in Scotland?<br /><br />MacAskill too afraid to upset his buddies in the profession?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-47310499628585122222012-04-05T00:14:00.105+01:002012-04-05T00:14:00.105+01:00The conclusion must therefore be Scotland's le...The conclusion must therefore be Scotland's legal profession is just too dirty,too corrupt to submit to naming & shaming.<br /><br />May as well assume all are crooked and save the pain of being ripped off later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-59873793680885147122012-04-04T22:33:33.271+01:002012-04-04T22:33:33.271+01:00Given the many, and in some instances high profile...Given the many, and in some instances high profile, cases of dubious dealings by the legal profession in Scotland what on earth is preventing Which magazine, the OFT and not Consumer Focus Scotland from shouting about it and campaining for change there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
