I have just commented on the article about 'negligence claims soaring' that much of the problem lies with the weak and pathetic leadership on behalf of the Profession at the CML negotiation table.

This is a recurring theme as regards TLS isn't it ? It's never changed in the 20 years since I came into the Profession.

Surrender and lie down in the face of any pressure whatsoever and revert to obtaining Counsel's Opinion to kick the can down the road, whilst everybody from the Govnt., Insurers, Lenders, Estate Agents and McKenzie friends trample all over us.

Reasoned argument should be the basis for any change, but as we can see from this article, he who shouts loudest is often believed and gets his way, whether right or wrong.

Christ TLS have a lot to learn from the Bar Council and ICAEW and develop a backbone and some fight.

You can't win every argument but you can certainly get the backing of your members for having a right go and simply by standing your corner you might actually get results !
