Mark Saunders is a thoroughly decent man, highly regarded throughout the legal profession in the north east. Almost to a man and woman, they are appalled that he has been struck off.

If he had been a plumber, he would have had 6 years to recover his money. The government has an arbitrary three month time limit for claiming fees, no doubt in the hope that people will fail to do so and it reaps the windfall.

There are very few who have not at some time and in some way done similar. Saunders is the unlucky one who has been caught out. There but for the grace of god go many others.
