I am afraid that as it refers to proceedings in the Court of Protection publishing it would be a contempt of court under s12 Administration of Justice Act 1960. This is an imprisonable offence. <br /><br />I do understand your frustration, and I am sorry I cannot - as a researcher - offer you advice. However, Mind have a very good legal advice line:<br /><br />http://www.mind.org.uk/help/advice_lines<br /><br />You might also want to look for your local law centre:<br /><br />http://www.ablc.org.uk/<br /><br />Best of luck,<br />LucyLucy Serieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820866715125284389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327718065135964598.post-77804190413070192302013-01-10T19:54:14.777+00:002013-01-10T19:54:14.777+00:00Dear Anonymous,

I am sure you are already aware that it would be a contempt of court for me to publish your comment on this blog. I must say I think it's mighty selfish of you to put me under that risk, and it's just as well I moderate my comments and have enough sense not to publish it. If you want to make general points about the role of the OS, the COP, experts or anything else, be my guest - you are most welcome. I and other readers would like to hear your views. But please don't splurge out names and details of active cases here again.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />LucyLucy Serieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820866715125284389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327718065135964598.post-11875549895322519012011-03-24T16:47:27.609+00:002011-03-24T16:47:27.609+00:00solicitors are already changing their practice in ...solicitors are already changing their practice in regards to legal advice. it's clear to them still how they can make a living via litigation but prior to that there is the legal advice side of the work.<br /><br />The ones i have worked with recently are having to pull back from the relationship building work they were previously doing with clients, giving them sessions after having failed to turn up for appointments, not giving free advice prior to completion of legal aid forms and a myriad of other things that empower vulnerable people to develop the trust they need to invest ingoing to see a solicitor.<br /><br />Without this relationship building vulnerable and often chaotic people will be impossible to engage in legal processes that improve the services they are entitled to.Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528426776043890296noreply@blogger.com
