AN INVESTIGATION by Diary of Injustice into dealings between the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (SLCC). <br /><br />As a regular follower of your blog Peter this is of no surprise to me and if I could the Law Society SLCC and the legal defence unions membership would all be in jail. <br /><br />The Law Society do not want to close the SLCC but they would like to close the dissident websites. I would like to say that the structures that are meant to protect the public don't and naming and shaming is a manifestation of clients frustrated because they have no way to fight back. We support you Peter, Solicitors from Hell and yes Rick your website is invaluable and they want to silence you because your strategy is working against their self regulatory interests. <br /><br />The only way to fight self regulation is naming and shaming and lawyers are furious because it protects clients and reduced law firms turnover. God bless the dissident websites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-12756415590269985952011-08-02T12:40:34.058+01:002011-08-02T12:40:34.058+01:00Anonymous said...
