It is such a shame that these massive machines have been allowed to sweep in, take over all these business and then thereafter have to systematically close them. Doubtless thousands of jobs will go across the industry in 2016 due to Gideon's efforts on reform of the small claims limit. Even so, I find it incredulous that no one has been monitoring these firms, their accounts and their business model to ensure stability and a plan for moving forward. They are like Hurricane Eric - sweeping in and taking everything out with it in its wake - just leaving piles of rubble in its midst.

I hope that the 51 staff involved get through this turbulent time. It must feel very stressful and unsure for them. I would like to think that they will find gainful employment elsewhere in this industry but the way it is going, I am sorry to say, that I think that this is unlikely.
