The 14 hour rule and its policing by the LAA simply does not address the issue of ghost solicitors. I know of one firm local to me where 4 out of 8 duties are ghosts. The firm is an old established firm and the prospects of the LAA auditing their compliance before this lunatic idea is revised is minimal.

The more sensible option to police this would be return admission of the duty schemes to the local committees. We know who the ghosts are. We knew this in the past and we know it now. Let us police it ourselves.

We'd do a damn sight better job than the LAA - but isn't that a given?
