Typical that they are looking for another chance. Another chance to stitch you up.<br />==================================<br />Yes but the truth is that Lawyers are simply a bogus profession, I would not trust a lawyer never mind the SLCC Law Society or any of the rest of their cover up bureaucracies. They are a criminal cartel operating outside of the law and repeatedly ruin people because they know they can. They are legalized criminals.
