I have been where you are and they will be reporting back to the SLCC all what you have said backed up by a full audio recording of your meeting and phone calls.<br /><br />Simply put they hate our guts, when you phone the SLCC the receptionist who answers the call hates you, the person who deals with your complaint hates you, the person who puts the complaint form into the envelope and sends it hates you, and when you go for the mediation meeting the person who greets you also hates you.<br /><br />Wise up they are the worst form of scum on the planet.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-82620223593279286762015-12-09T11:08:14.869+00:002015-12-09T11:08:14.869+00:00Anonymous said...

(The Law Society or SLCC same animal) and Mr Gill's colleagues are experts at delay and subterfuge to achieve two goals, that of hiding secret wealth and protecting lawyers who really belong in prison. And that is what self regulation is for, to keep their clients oppressed and their mother lodes and colleagues protected beyond the parameters of justice. Miss Ali called them a law into themselves, and she is right.
