They sent a letter accusing the patient of being untruthful (NHS LOCAL RESOLUTION LETTERS PROVED ONE GP WAS CORRUPT) and throwing the patient out of the practice. The letter was dynamite as it was shown to many of their patients proving that the practice wanted everything covered up. So their letter helped tarnish all of their reputations, which proves they are not very wise people. (A DOCTOR AT THE PRACTICE LIES ABOUT A PATIENT AND THE OTHER PARTNERS SEND A LETTER BUT TAKE NO LEGAL ACTION AGAINST A PATIENT ACCUSING THE DOCTOR OF BEING A LIAR IN PUBLIC) <br /><br />The patient was never taken to court because the practice were the liars. Talk about stopping digging when you are in a hole. <br /><br />We have seen first hand professional loyalty, and no patient or client has a chance because even with written evidence the patient or client had to expose the professional publicly because the patient or client will never get a lawyer to represent them. <br /><br />We exposed these scumbags and the public decided who were the liars. The so called professionals ain't that clever, and they become complacent. <br /><br />The Law Society, SLCC, NHS Primary Care, GMC, to name a few, burial grounds for public complaints, you want to expose a corrupt professional you have to do this yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-41670877820744974802011-08-08T12:59:52.807+01:002011-08-08T12:59:52.807+01:00A young woman injured due to prolonged standing an...A young woman injured due to prolonged standing and stenciling at a Hamilton Bakers.<br /><br />Her lawyer, all doctors, her GP for over thirty years covered up what happened to her.<br /><br />Her lawyer (well known in Glasgow) got three years legal aid money, and we found out later the all lawyers and doctors were insured by the same company as her employer.<br /><br />So the doctors and lawyers insurers would have been paying her damages.<br /><br />She has not worked for years due to these ruthless criminals.<br /><br />Occupational injury where legally privileged criminal doctors cover everything up encourage employers to injure others.<br /><br />Her GP, made out to the court she had been seeing a psychiatrist for over twenty years, a lie and put a straight line through the box on the benefits agency form which asked if there were any psychiatric problems. (WE HAVE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE TO PROVE THIS). <br /><br />She does not have psychiatric problems.<br /><br />So at least he told the benefits agency the truth, but he also did not tell the benefits agency about the damage to her legs or right arm because he wanted her money stopped. (NEVER TRUST YOUR GP IF HIS OR HER COLLEAGUES REPUTATION IS AT RISK OR YOU ARE IN LITIGATION AGAINST YOUR EMPLOYER). <br /><br />Simple strategy, stop her money from the benefits agency by stating there is nothing wrong with her (she had no money for 5 months until her employer terminated her contract) her GP sent her back to work for the third time her employer would not let her into work, the GP refused to give her another medical certificate and the Glasgow lawyer did not help her because his insurers would have been paying her damages, a total nightmare. (THE LAW SOCIETY REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE THIS CASE BUT THEY ARE INSURED BY ROYAL SUN ALLIANCE TOO.) <br /><br />The employer, lawyer and GP cut off her money to starve her into submission.

Smee went on to settle his claim.<br /><br />High Court judge Mr Justice Tugendhat today ruled that Kordowski had no knowledge of the dispute in question, and there was no evidence to substantiate the allegations published online.<br /><br />Kordowski applied for the libel claim to go to a full trial, but it was ruled that he had no real prospect of successfully defending the claim.<br /><br />The court heard that Kordowski has not offered any correction or apology, and asserted a right to defend the proceedings with defences of truth and honest comment.<br /><br />He sent an email to Smee after legal action was threatened suggesting ‘we take these people on’, the court was told.<br /><br />The email added: ‘Don’t worry, I will prepare the defence and represent us in the High Court and it will not cost a penny in terms of outlay! (I have done it before).’<br /><br />In his judgment, Tugendhat said: ‘The allegations that Mr Robins had lied in the court of the litigation between Mr Bonwick and Mr Smee, and that Mr Robins had acted in any way dishonestly or in breach of his duty to his client Mr Bonwick, are false and defamatory of him and the claimant firm.’<br /><br />He ordered Kordowski to pay £10,000 in damages to Robins.<br /><br />The claimants also asked for an order restraining Kordowski from further publishing the matter complained of, and that material has now been removed.<br /><br />The judgment is the latest setback for the controversial website, which may face further legal proceedings after the Law Society threatened to commence two legal actions against it in May.<br /><br />The Society’s solicitors Brett Wilson are currently gathering evidence for a potential class action against the website. Solicitors named on the website can contact Brett Wilson.<br /><br />Kordowski said: ‘I have recognised past failings and I will not be deterred from facilitating others in exposing, where it exists, wrongdoing by solicitors - the past has been trial and error but the judgments against me have pointed the way for the site to avoid further claims.’<br /><br />AGAIN WE SEE LAWYERS CAN SUCCEED IN DEFAMATION ACTIONS AGAINST THEIR CRITICS, BUT CRITICS AND CLIENTS CANNOT SUE LAWYERS.WE SURRORT YOU RICK.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-21884505117710224012011-08-07T22:20:02.452+01:002011-08-07T22:20:02.452+01:00Anonymous said...

It means nothing about intelligence or integrity. Lawyers are rather childish people they ruin clients and expect us to thank them for that. <br /><br />Self regulation creates a supercillious attitude in those who benefit from it so much so they think clients have no right to challenge them, grow up lawyers, you are lining up against naming and shaming and this is the reason your reputations are all being ruined.<br /><br />Naming and shaming WORKS and you lawyers cannot stomach this, and the revulsion you feel is real like ours when a lawyer ruins one of us. Get over your revulsion because naming and shaming, yes targetting the supply side is critical to eradicate criminals the state protects. You lawyers are the state that is why no one has any rights against you, naming and shaming works, it keeps clients out of your offices and that is the only way round the SLCC and Law Society, SNP, and MSP, bias in favour of LLB criminals. <br /><br />God bless the websites and victory to freedom of speech and expression.LAWYERS ARE EVIL PEOPLEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-13122890599660362402011-08-06T18:55:40.562+01:002011-08-06T18:55:40.562+01:00Why cant we have a Legal Services Consumer Panel f...Why cant we have a Legal Services Consumer Panel for Scotland?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-36084723619422081982011-08-06T17:31:48.522+01:002011-08-06T17:31:48.522+01:00There is a quote in that Law Gazette story about S...There is a quote in that Law Gazette story about Sampson being concerned that complainers will use his published findings to warn others about a crooked lawyer.<br /><br />Well I dont think its Mr Sampson's place to worry about that.If the complaint is well founded and a decision comes down in favour of the client then it can and should be used in any possible to warn everyone what happened to that person so the rest can avoid the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-9400472103168851772011-08-05T14:32:28.315+01:002011-08-05T14:32:28.315+01:00You have some good ideas about this Peter in some ...You have some good ideas about this Peter in some of your earlier posts I have been reading,especially the part about lawyers having to tell their clients their complaints record before signing them up (to ruin them like the rest no doubt!)<br /><br />Keep up the good work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-58400700605390824782011-08-05T10:08:30.895+01:002011-08-05T10:08:30.895+01:00Well done Peter and I look forward to reading more...Well done Peter and I look forward to reading more exposures of crooked lawyers in Scotland.<br /><br />Funny thing.I had a look round what passes for the Scots legal profession's own media circuit and couldn't find a mention to the naming & shaming consultation and all that good support from the consumer end.Anyone might think they were too afraid to talk about it in case it gave Scots clients a few ideas to do the same!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-72681357836020077702011-08-04T22:46:46.488+01:002011-08-04T22:46:46.488+01:00Thanks for all your comments & emails on this ...Thanks for all your comments & emails on this article.<br /><br />Several comments have not been published due to their strength and in some cases identifying solicitors regarding complaints.<br /><br />I would rather these cases be further investigated and published in fuller articles along with supporting evidence or sent to a newspaper for further exposure.<br /><br />I would remind anyone who feels they may have problems with the SLCC not disclosing secret material or submissions made by the Legal Defence Union, to contact the SLCC and specifically ask for copies of them, should such submissions have been made.<br /><br />Naming & Shaming the crooked members of the Scottish legal profession is no different from any other profession or industry.

Just as any criminal who dodges justice deserves to be caught and identified to the wider world, so do those in the legal profession who are leaving ever increasing numbers of ruined or damaged clients.<br /><br />Lastly, I note some of you have picked up on the fact there is no real discussion or debate in Scotland at the moment about naming & shaming "crooked lawyers".<br /><br />I suggest those of you who feel motivated enough on this issue to spread the word and contact your msps, however sleekit and welded to the legal profession they may be ... and dont forget to keep me posted on the results !Diary of Injusticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00697476580161690118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-6333442352858199682011-08-04T22:21:48.041+01:002011-08-04T22:21:48.041+01:00Good to see the OFT takin a stand on the issue, bu...Good to see the OFT takin a stand on the issue, but doubtless Salmond, MacAskill et al will treat this with the same contempt they have lonsince shown to others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-52592677095392580252011-08-04T21:20:52.550+01:002011-08-04T21:20:52.550+01:00Expectedly, the Law Society of England & Wales...Expectedly, the Law Society of England & Wales protested against the effort to publish the names of rogue solicitors & crooked law firms, stating in its submission : “We do not believe that publishing firms’ complaints records will improve complaints handling or provide clients with useful information which will allow them to make an informed choice about which legal service provider to use.” <br /><br />YES CLEARLY THE LAW SOCIETY OF ENGLAND & WALES ARE AS BAD AS SCOTLAND THEY DONT WANT ANYONE TO KNOW WHICH SOLICITORS ARE CROOKED OR UNRELIABLE WELL TOUGH NOW CONSUMERS MUST HAVE THE POWER TO KNOW THE TRUTH!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-12861762661403831402011-08-04T19:00:18.704+01:002011-08-04T19:00:18.704+01:00Yes name and shame the lot!Yes name and shame the lot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-66652091722581114872011-08-04T14:53:36.376+01:002011-08-04T14:53:36.376+01:00Good posting as always Peter I fully support your ...Good posting as always Peter I fully support your campaign to name and shame all these horrid crooked lawyers in Scotland.<br /><br />Well done!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-91828639991372002332011-08-04T11:48:32.425+01:002011-08-04T11:48:32.425+01:00As others have said I am dismayed this level of de...As others have said I am dismayed this level of debate is taking place in England about naming & shaming of the worst elements of the legal profession yet nothing appears in the Scottish media.<br /><br />The more they refuse to report it the more important an issue it must become.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-84484953769202601922011-08-04T09:30:15.964+01:002011-08-04T09:30:15.964+01:00I think anyone who argues against naming & sha...I think anyone who argues against naming & shaming is done for already - its going to come in one way or another after far too many scandals in the profession.<br /><br />If anyone is to blame for it I would say its the Law Society itself.Their mishandling of complaints just as in Peter's case with the Drew Penman character has generated these kind of campaigns which have impacted on all solicitors and made everyone suspicious.I'd like to think lessons will be learned from these bloody minded cases but I doubt it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-54939299559358921762011-08-04T00:25:48.918+01:002011-08-04T00:25:48.918+01:00Am I right people?
