Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legal Services Bill [Lords].
Legal Services Bill [Lords]
I think that I understand the legal services complaints system quite well. Will the hon. Gentleman explain what costs are placed on a solicitors firm that is being complained about? In my experience, the initial action is to put the case in writing, and then if it comes back and the complaints service thinks that there is no case to answer, it goes no further so there are no costs at all. His point is, therefore, complete nonsense.
