If, as reported, a paralegal felt that he or she had no option but to send privileged documents straight into Court, it suggests a failure of the firm's internal reporting culture as a first step towards investigating alleged misconduct.
To those who find the paralegal's behaviour bizarre or unbecoming, I would say this - some of the comments on this article if read by a member of the public would give the impression that as a profession we are only too keen to condemn those who break ranks to expose a potential miscarriage of justice. Whatever the facts of this case or the regulatory or legal position, that impression is damaging and wrong. It is not at all indicative of the profession or the high standards we have all declared to uphold.
