This is merely a tactic of Lawyers and the Law Society to try and ensure that a fair and independent system of handling complaints
is not brought in. The present system is a waste of time and money and a wholly independent system is long overdue. Laywers expensive ?. Thye are very expensive already and no proper legal aid system exists anymore so access to Court is not available to the man on the street. Cannot wait for the next revolution !.

Brian Punam of Oxford, I am sorry to say that you are being very naive when you say, quote, "with lawyers BECOMING prohibitively expensive" . In the real World lawyers ARE (not "are") prohibitively expensive to almost every man on the street, leaving only well off and companies able to afford to be able to TRY and get "Justice" .I think once you qualify you will realise that the system as it is is, in laymans terms "crap" . I can only see this alleged revolt as being a means to try and stop what has been required for a long ,long time, i.e. a properly independent complaints body as the old systems was/is corrupt. Do a search for "law society complaints" on Yahoo (result number 8) and you will see what I mean.

Please, I am a student studying law. I need to pay back all the fees I have/will incurred/incur and that will become a tad harder if the British people resort to 'knee-capping' with lawyers becoming prohibitively expensive!
