The SRA and The Conduct Investigation Unit (CIU)?

The Most Inept Letter I have EVER received!

Willing Blindness? Cover Up? Plain Stupidity?

Judge for yourself!

Having waited "4 to 6 weeks" I today received a response from the CIU.  It is from someone called Katie Jackson and I believe it is the most inept letter I have EVER received.

Here it is .... CLICK!

I REALLY have to question whether Ms. Jackson has even READ the complaints.  You will see that she is trying to claim that the Law Society dealt with these complaints back in MARCH 2005

Just look at the FIRST Head of complaint (here in full)

First Head of Complaint

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. Specifically, they claimed:-

Rates for solicitor Ben Whelan of £190 / hr (£223.25)
Rates for Elaine Pitman of £173/hr (£203.28)

Just tell me HOW ANYONE could have dealt with a complaint in 2005 about Misconduct carried out in 2008?  Crystal ball, perhaps?

Indeed, the first FIVE heads of complaint are all NEW and the SIXTH annexes new evidence and a new judgement AND the findings of the ALCD in November 2008.

So, Ben Whelan is guilty of "a most serious disciplinary offence" - the proof is absolute.  The ALCD has already fined the "monkey" (Nigel Long) £5,000 and £500 costs for HIS part but the SRA/CIU refuses to even LOOK at the SAME complaints against the Organ Grinder.  

Furthermore... "In view of this we will not be responding to further correspondence with you on this matter, either in writing or over the telephone, unless it is clear that you are raising new issues that require further investigation by us.  Any correspondence that does not raise new issues will simply be placed on file without further action or response on our part"

Excuse ME!  I rather thought 2008 WAS "new" compared with 2005?

Why not simply tell the TRUTH... "ANY correspondence THAT raised NEW issues will NOT be actioned by us"

I am sorry, Ms. Jackson, but your letter of 18/02/2009 is the height of rudeness.  Put simply, it is THE most inept letter I have EVER received from ANYONE.  I hope they are paying you well for putting your name on what is patently a "turd".

Well, so far BOTTOM marks for the SRA/CIU - to me it is the same old Willing Blindness to cover up for lying, cheating incompetent solicitors.

So - time to complain to the LSO - here is the on-line form which you can complete here...

http://www.olso.org/appform/default.asp

The PDF was captured just before I hit the SUBMIT button.

 

I also wrote to them here - though it's now time to open up the OLSO link (left or here)

Er... and finally? ... ILEX has confirmed that they won't lift a finger about Elaine Pitman until the LCS/SRA/CIU has finished it's "investigation" - Yeh! Right! :-) Ok, well, they now have no excuses left ... (or DO they) we will see (left or here)

Minor update 26/02/2009 - given The Most Inept Letter Ever from the SRA I thought "Why not write to the Nice David Clare (as well) to show what the SRA think of his opinion..."

"As you rightly indicate, although the procedure does require the complaint to come to us in the Legal Complaints Service (LCS) first, the issues raised are properly within the jurisdiction of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). I have therefore referred your letter to our colleagues in the SRA and you should hear from them shortly."

Umm here is the result - odd?  It seems "someone" has "ordered" the LCS not to communicate with me.  I wonder WHO that was?  A bit "cavalier"? Heavy-handed? Cover-up?  SRA/CUI ... Nil point!  LCS... Une point! 

Do you remember "for a tester a failed test is STILL a good result" - from the home page?  Well, we're getting closer... what next?  A "Test Report", of course!  It's in draft but we still need to hear from the Bar Standards Board (left or here), ILEX and the OLSO - Ooops! I'm nearly forgetting, what of Lexical ... ok, so time before we can report, maybe!

Rest assured that the most inept letter I have ever received WILL form a part of section which deals with the SRA/CIU.  Thanks, Katie Jackson, I hope you will be remembered. 

Since 2004 the Law Society has KNOWN that FDC Law is guilty of:-

Incompetence

Professional Misconduct

Professional Negligence

Signing false declarations on bills of costs and (I say fraudulently) claiming £1,000's they were NOT entitled to

 

FDC Liar know the above statements are TRUE and that I can prove them.  Who NEEDS a law firm that cannot even protect it's OWN reputation?  The firm is a disgrace from which the public needs protection.

 

Opinion: My belief is that the modern day "Solicitors Regulation Authority" is colluding with FDC Law to avoid taking disciplinary action against these proven LIARS.  For me the most inept letter I have ever received from Katie Jackson proves it.  Children sometimes tell hopeless lies - I must assume Ms. Jackson is over 18?  You may of course judge for yourself.

 

ALL I REALLY hope is that you will AVOID FDC Law, Ben Whelan, Nigel Long, Elaine Pitman, Tony Williams, John Killah, Catriona Duthie and David Curwen.

 

Even if you WANT a dishonest lawyer ... remember... His Honour Judge Cardinal described this firm as "Incompetent" way back in 2005.  NOBODY needs incompetence matched with greedy self-serving dishonesty.
