Another opportunity for the Jo Public you dislike. How can anyone clever enough (probably to get a law degree and then) to qualify as a solicitor and practise for some years get themselves into such debt without realising it was likely to make them bust - and get away with it!? How can your profession be trusted with other people's money - or even advising on it - when you can take such calculated risks with it? Why isn't there some continuous oversight, so they could be closed down, the firm and principals bankrupted and the assets seized? Is there a firm that insiders know is next in line?
