Dear Sirs,
Thank you for your letters dated 24th Feb and 6th
March which (due holiday) I received yesterday evening (09/03/2009). In
your letter of 6th Match you ask for further information - it's really VERY
simple...
You will see that the very first "head"
starts "On 25th June 2008 FDC Law attempted to deceive the Court into awarding costs based
upon much higher hourly rates than they had agreed with their
client." Very clearly these are NEW complaints
against a NEW solicitor (Ben Whelan, SAME Firm) - equally clearly they could NOT
have been dealt with in 2005 as "the most inept letter I have ever received"
(from SRA, dated 18th Feb 2009) suggests...
So, it's SIMPLE - SRA failing (refusing) to
investigate "A most serious disciplinary offence" (false declaration on bill of
costs) and not caring how inept THEY appear as long as the solicitor(s) get off
Scott-free. The easy way to avoid taking the required disciplinary action
is to avoid investigating at all costs - even if it make the SRA look like a
completely useless bunch of time-wasters. The "monkey" was already fined
£5,000 for his LIES and deceit (http://www.lcs-test.co.uk/images/ALCD2Me121108.pdf)
- so really the evidence against the "organ-grinder" can't be doubted. SRA
know this... er and of course the NEW evidence (a Court Judgement and admission
under Oath in 2008) - FDC Liar was guilty of LYING to the OSS/CCS back in 2004
(to hide their professional negligence AND their complete abandonment of the
Client Care Code) - and they continued to lie and deceive the Courts ever
since.
I'd ALSO like to know
WHO has decreed that the LCS cannot answer questions (here http://www.lcs-test.co.uk/DC24022009.htm)
- having correctly identified that these complaints were both NEW and fell into
the remit of the SRA - you have to own that it seems like a cover-up all
round. So WHO???
Many Thanks. Clearly I won't let this
rest as the somewhat tongue-in-cheek email below suggests - there are a LOT of
MP's - I'm sure that at least 1 or 2 will understand my (rather poor)
"satire".
Look forward to hearing from you. If the OLSO
also suggests that complaints about misconduct in 2008 should NOT be
investigated on grounds that they were dealt with in 2005 (three years before
the misconduct took place) I will take matters further - call it my Persistent
Genes if you will, but such stupidity cannot be allowed to go
unchallenged. As you can probably imagine I'm a tad cross - seems like the
whole LCS/SRA/Legal Services Act/Clementi/Fines etc was a huge con... but maybe
I'm wrong and this latest "willing Blindness" is a step too far even for the
OLSO? Time will tell.
Yours sincerely,
Spenser Poultney

appears that as long ago as 2005 a bright young Law Society Executive, Ms. Aman
Virk, developed an infallible method of navigating the complex delta-streams of
future probability. This startling new technique has enabled the Law
Society (and now the All-New "independent" Solicitors Regulation Authority) to
deal with solicitor misconduct up to three years BEFORE it takes place. No more
backlogs of complaints. No more fines from the LSO. Just pure
"regulation" as never before seen?

Criminals can now be convicted up to three years BEFORE they commit their
crime. Judges need only pass a one-day sentence; to start on the day the
offender is GOING to commit the crime. Since the offender is in prison at
the critical time, the crime ITSELF is abolished. A Crime-Free Britain and
massive savings to the taxpayer. I feel sure this "future gazing" will end
the Credit Crunch too, though it may spell an end to the National Lottery.
The consequences for ALL of us are quite staggering.

Blindness that has dogged the Law Society for 30 years or more - they laugh at

> In 2008 ANOTHER solicitor from the SAME law
firm signed a similar false declaration on a bill of costs. "A most
serious disciplinary offence" according to a prominent Law Lord - attempting to
claim £1000's the firm was NOT entitled to - tantamount to criminal fraud.
On 23rd October 2008 the Association of Law Costs Draughtsmen (ALCD) fined its
Member £5,000 with £500 costs for HIS part in the SAME misconduct. Under
Law Society Rules it is the SOLICITOR not Costs Draughtsman that is
responsible. We live in a Britain where the "monkey" gets fined and the
"organ grinder" (who stood to gain far more from this deception) gets off
Scott-free. Why? Because the so-called Solicitors Regulation
Authority claim that this misconduct (in 2008) was dealt with back in
2005. This has nothing to do with "Persistent Genes" - it is simply a
veritable "Crock".

address by Dr. Vince Cable (just before the summer recess) where he told you
that (in 2007) the CAB had 300,000 cases with a legal dimension referred to it,
a quarter of which involved the conduct of the solicitors involved. These
are YOUR Constituents - about 75,000 of them each year.

Test of the so-called "regulators" in 2008/09. We have a survey, which is
open to anyone who has made an official complaint in the past 10 years. At
very least it is better they know the TRUTH so they can prepare for further
injustice. If you would like to receive a copy of our final Report at the
end of the year then please respond to this email.

Back in the 2004 Which? Report, one person described the Law Society as "a body
that is 'drinking at the same waterhole' as the legal hyenas it purports to be
checking up on." I suggest the very same is true of the LCS/SRA in
2009. Over 30 years, many Governments, many reforms and the SAME raw deal
for everyone. EXCEPT corrupt and incompetent solicitors. Why?
