Thanks for the info.

It is sobering to learn that even if there were no more new cases, the current backlog would still take 8 years to clear.

Swifter justice would leave them with smaller bills.

Valid point?

[Daphne – No, that’s not how it works. Fees are not linked to duration of case, and it’s actually better for lawyers if cases are wrapped up quickly.]

The law is an ass, lawyers/magistrates/judges have made this country a much better place for criminals than honest men & women. It is high time we either change a lot of our laws, or form a party that will do so.

I cannot remember the name of the Australian lawyer sitcom on the Sundance TV channel when one of the characters said that tarnishing his opposite’s reputation is like adding an obnoxious smell to a turd.

This guy was advised by the ethics watchdog to resign his post on the Olympics committee whilst serving as a judge.

What reputation would that be, exactly?
