Master of the Rolls slams Irwin Mitchell's 'out of kilter' costs

Firstly, I am sure I saw Father Christmas in The Lawyer this week. Secondly, of course this kind of publicity is bad for the profession and high fees need to be cut down. But it is wrong to blame high legal fees for motor insurance rates as the MOJ seems to be ready to concede at the moment. Claimants and defendants and INSURERS are responsible for the state of the personal injury market and, more often than not, it is an insurance company which is sat behind the litigant. What about the costs of rehabilitation, medical reports, disclosure etc etc, the MR is right, there is something out of kilter and the sooner something is done about it in a fair and constructive manner the better,
