It is remarkable just how many members of a supposedly respectable profession are willing to relate untruths in legal proceedings not on behalf of clients, which is within their remit as legal representatives, but on their own behalf.
And if the firm in question had nothing to hide then it beggars belief they would have to be threatened with the SRA or that a burglar who apparently had no interest in any valuables or other case files should target documents from this one matter.

Trust is an essential in the legal profession but how many practitioners would have acted similarly when facing the possibility of a large pay out should they fail to successfully defend the claim ? The question for those of us who would like to think we would act differently is "would we" ?
