I do not know enough about all this to make a valid comment on whether the SRA/SDT should be involved in this.

What I will say is that we Solicitors do not make the law. We apply it. If there is a problem then parliament will solve it for better or worse. But "noses in the trough" comments and "couldn't happen to a nicer firm" are not warranted.

My view is that if Legal Aid is being abused then it is the LAA who are to blame for allowing it to be abused. The firm is using LA to assist where assistance is deemed to be needed. The fact that LD and the other have used practices that may not be befitting to a Law Firm generally to attract such cases should not be a reason to be reported. Do ABS's have such a moral compass that they would not do the same to make money...
