We support John Mulholland, Law Society President, in his view that the SLCC is tone deaf in drafting a budget seeking yet more funding from solicitors at a time when the Coronavirus crisis threatens businesses and livelihoods across the profession. The SLCC needs to get real.

Scottish Law Agents Society: SLCC budget takes 'no account' of coronavirus crisis @scottishlegal https://t.co/pJpNwAskVq

[Scottish Law Agents @scotlawagents]

SLAS endorses the view of John Mulholland that the SLCC is "tone deaf" in publishing a budget which expects solicitors to pay yet more in the midst of the coronavirus crisis. The SLCC seems to inhabit a parallel universe where all is rosy and business is flourishing. Get real.

I choose and pay to be represented by the trade union @unisonscot. But I’m forced to pay for the Law Society of Scotland to represent me and they don’t and can’t represent me as a law centre lawyer as they have a conflict of interests in statutory duties. https://t.co/WUoe7zHXX6
