Revealed: The huge bad practice of leading law firms. Hoe they coverup bad reviews https://t.co/BYRicHoClE

This is the question that matters.

Not just how many complaints come in, but what happens if o the ones filtered out before any investigation begins.

The key regulatory decisions may now be happening before any investigations formally begins!

The issue is no longer whether complaint volumes are rising.

It is whether anyone outside the regulator can independently assess the safety of the complaints filtered out before investigation.

[EdwardRomain @EdwardRomain]

The SRA says reports against solicitors are “rocketing.” They’re right. They are.
What they do not say is that around 70% of those reports are closed before formal investigation even begins. Reports up. Investigation referral rates down. Regulatory findings at around 4.3%. The question is not just how many complaints come in. It is how many are filtered out before investigation.

[BlindJustice @BlindJusticeUK]

We have today called for an independent audit of the SRA’s complaint closure system.

11,852 reports received.
8,317 closed before investigation.

The public cannot currently see what risks may have been missed.

[BlindJustice @BlindJusticeUK]

Same court.

When a corporation faces enforcement, the system can mobilise immediately.

When an individual seeks justice, it’s slower.

Equality before the law is a principle.

Is it a practice?

@BlindJusticeUK #RuleOfLaw

[BlindJustice @BlindJusticeUK]

From 1 May 2026, fixed-term tenancies in England & Wales are abolished.

Your tenancy continues by law.
You do NOT need to sign a new contract to stay in your home.

We’re already seeing emails suggesting otherwise.

If you’ve received one, send it to us. In confidence.

[EdwardRomain @EdwardRomain]

@BlindJusticeUK @BlindJusticeUK - We’ve already had volunteers contact us since publication. That tells you everything about the need for this work.

[EdwardRomain @EdwardRomain]

Proud to see this research published. Twenty cases, two years of evidence, and the Ministry of Justice confirming the failures in writing.

This is just the beginning.

New report: Court administrative failures are making justice inaccessible for litigants in person.

Key findings:
• Documents missing in 92% of cases
• Mandatory submissions not considered in 85%
• Emails unacknowledged in 76%

“Justice should be blind — but never inaccessible.”

@BlindJusticeUK The point isn’t about individual lawyers or cases — it’s about whether a complaints-based regulatory model can really deliver accountability when most clients have no baseline for comparison. #Governance #Accountability

[BlindJustice @BlindJusticeUK]

New coverage in the Argus on @BlindJusticeUK research into barriers faced by litigants in person, following parliamentary correspondence raising the findings with the Lord Chancellor.

The focus is on administrative and procedural failures rather than individual cases.

I wrote a poem about it.

[EdwardRomain @EdwardRomain]

This isn’t theory — it comes from lived experience.

@BlindJusticeUK exists because people deserve tools, not barriers, when seeking justice.

Proud to share this.

Turning silence into evidence.

Blind Justice — new tools and AI for fair access to justice.

[EdwardRomain @EdwardRomain]

You cite declining support — monarchy 54%. Fair. Now look homeward: presidency 30%, Congress 20%, Supreme Court 40%. Your institutions are collapsing faster than ours are evolving. Attend to that first.

[EdwardRomain @EdwardRomain]

You mock “Windsor” as fake. In 1917, while British soldiers died in Flanders, the Royal Family anglicised its name — an act of solidarity, not disguise. You call it deception. We call it duty. The distinction matters.
