The principal regulators should consider this brief proposal : Legal Aid has been decimated and a temporary truce has been declared between the combatants. At the same time, the regulations are being tightened up on client money. Why not solve both problems at the same time ? Abolish client accounts altogether. All client money to be held by an MOJ-authorised fund which would approve deposits and transfers. All investment income and interest earned on the account to be applied towards Legal Aid. Why bother with client accounts at all ? Why not get rid of them ?
