Lawyers across France went on strike last week, calling for a doubling of the country’s legal aid budget. Some 160 bar associations took part across the country. They claim they are among the worst paid legal aid lawyers in Europe.
The strike follows similar action taken last October.
Public inquiry sees lawyer’s emailed instruction to ‘structure’ documents to invoke privilege.
Judicial Conduct Investigations Office says the office holder apologised at the time over ‘comments which were considered inappropriate or threatening’.
High Court also refuses amendments to claim, centred on a failed investment scheme, against another firm which ‘lacked clarity and coherence’.
