Good on them for sticking to their guns, it is a pity that the family lawyers/barristers did not do the same in relation to the cuts in civil. We have seen the disastrous results of those cuts first hand, not only vulnerable clients unable to obtain representation thus tying up Court time, raising the heat in the relationships and thus creating distress for any children, but also the number of LiPs who now threaten our lawyers, death threats (one had a custodial sentence as a result of such a threat), physical abuse, one of our lawyers attacked by a LiP, the threat to our receptionist and other staff when abusive and threatening opponents have every right to contact us with no lawyer keeping them under control. Still this government is doing a grand job of bringing this once great Country to its knees in so many ways - this is just the tip of the iceberg. They should hang their heads in shame
