Bit harsh John.

One can't comment on whether he practiced in a relevant legal area and in any event he instructed both counsel and solicitors- why shouldn't he rely on their advice? (assuming the advice wasn't that there was no hope).

Possibly a little naive in;

1. believing the LLP would honour the promise to pay RBS even having called on his forced retirement; and

2. running a defence that reads to have been fairly ambitious at best.

Hope RBS's costs weren't too high.
