Focus: The law society: Chancery lame

SRA staff are there to do their job - and that is regulate solicitors - and without such regulation the profession would not be so highly regarded. The cost of the PC fee is determined by those a little higher up (ie the ones taking the big pay increases or bonus) rather than the ordinary staff member (the ones on the pay freeze for several years now) and I can fully understand the concerns of solicitors who have paid high fees for the last few years when the Law Society and SRA have had the monopoly, and now that there will be competition the fees are suddenly lower. So, as there will be competition perhaps those solicitors who feel they have been ripped off and ignored for years should vote with their feet and check out the competition.
