Actually I think there are two problems not just the lawyer. The Law Society that covered up for this bum deserves equal attention I believe. Until I read about this case I did not know that lawyers had to pay money (and a lot of it - every year) to belong to the law society. I also learned that the Law Society makes victims sign an agreement that no matter what happens with the Law Society and the lawyer, the victim must agree not to talk with the media nor even the police about what happened. What are they afraid of if they conduct an honest investigation? I also found this here Bruce And The Courts
