David, rocket science isn't rocket science. Any idiot with half a brain could build a rocket from looking up the internet.
Unfortunately LiPs clog up the Courts because they don't negotiate or mediate.
Unlike you, some people don't find the law easy and don't want to act in person but feel they must because they can't afford a lawyer.
The reality is that the numbers of LiPs cost the taxpayer more money in Court time than legal aid would cost. The scrapping of legal aid is therefore a false economy.
In relation to DV what tends to happen is person rings office and asks if legal aid is available. Lawyer says no, unless there is domestic violence. Caller goes to another law firm and complains about domestic violence.
It isn't about lawyers telling the client to lie but the system inadvertently encourages people to do so.
