It's obvious that the SRA views those it regulates with utter contempt; the taskforce recommended an increase in the Smalls Claims limit and this Paul Philip welcomes that? Totally out of touch with the mood of the profession.

As for fraud, why not take the fight to where it is needed? Barely regulated scumbag CMCs that rip off the public and solicitors alike. Tackling CMCs is the answer to fraud not further restrictions on solicitors' costs. In a world without solicitors, CMCs will drive claims through the Small Claims Track with no concern for the honesty of the claim or the welfare of the client - justice on the cheap. Although I suspect the insurers will favour that.
