SUBJECT : MCKENZIE FRI...Sunday, 12 July 2009 <br /><br />SUBJECT : MCKENZIE FRIENDS IN SCOTTISH COURTS<br /><br />Dear Mrs McDonald,<br /><br />I write regarding the implementation of McKenzie Friends in the Scottish Courts. I believe this is vital bearing in mind that lawyers control access to our courts, and there are many individuals who have no rights due to discrimination from the legal profession. This is in conflict with the principles of natural justice, <br /><br />Your views expressed at the Public Petitions Committee were very encouraging, and hopefully many more MSP’s will support you on this. In my view justice should be available to all citizens, and I am interested to hear the views of the Law Society of Scotland and the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission on this matter. Clearly it is not in there interests, because they have a stranglehold on the provision of legal services at the present time. Mr MacAskill as Justice Minister should have dealt with this before now. There is something seriously wrong with a justice system where individuals have no legal remedy because they cannot get a lawyer to act for them. In many cases this is because it is not in the legal professions interest to take the case on.<br /><br />Clearly disputes could be resolved without a lawyer if the McKenzie Friend system was implemented. This is of paramount importance in my view, and it will give many people rights they do not have at the present time. There is widespread support from consumer groups, and I understand Lord Gill will advise on the implementing of McKenzie Friends in his review. <br /><br />Mr John Swinney MSP clearly demonstrated at the Justice 2 committee that the Law Society of Scotland director Douglas Mill was interfering with claims against lawyers. We need more MSP’s like you and Mr Swinney who will support their constituents, and if Mr MacAskill cannot do this he should resign. It is time Scotland had a Justice Minister who will stand against the legal profession and end the self regulatory stranglehold that is a barrier to justice for so many members of the public.<br /><br /> Yours FaithfullyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-35133242770801503462009-07-12T16:18:58.231+01:002009-07-12T16:18:58.231+01:00Thanks for your continued comments.

Cover up will always happen because these people cannot stand clients. Lawyers careers, that is all they care about and Hamilton (forget the title) is a lawyer himself.
