Morning all,
I rarely get involved in what I describe as ‘general electronic debates/discussion’ nevertheless I do so this time for some strange reason!!
I concur with the views expressed since last night.
·
I consider the suggestion to engage with Gary Bell is sensible and suggest that in doing so we should acknowledge with him ‘up-front’ any legitimate concerns
there may be about previously expressed views and seek an assurance from him that his past record/reputation will not be the foundation for his future work.
·
With regards to the ‘unknown’ solicitor representatives what about LCCSA approaching them direct to find out about there past record in LA work.
·
I have concern that there is no London representative on this group……does this reflect a possible marginalisation / disregard by the group for the London
perspective and for LCCSA? I don’t doubt that there can be a valuable in-put by colleagues from the ‘Shires’ however there is a different feel when you attend these courts where there often appears to be more of a ‘club-like’ atmosphere ……perhaps that is their
experience when they come to the London courts.
·
Would it be an idea for the LCCSA to make a direct approach to Gary Bell for him to invite the LCCSA to nominate at least one person for the group although
I suspect this may have already been done.
Anyway there are my few ‘off-the-cuff’ comments having read the contributions to date.
Regards,
Alan McGrath
